Regulations
Energinet must adhere to the rules of the EU Utilities Directive. The EU Utilities Directive applies to purchases that exceed a threshold amount of approx. 3 million DKK for supply and service contracts, and approx. 38 million DKK for works contracts.
The most important EU principles for public procurements are as follows:
- Equal Treatment - Energinet has an obligation to ensure that comparable situations are not treated differently and that different situations are not treated alike unless such treatment is objectively justified and proportionate.
- Transparency - All information necessary for the conclusion of a public contract must be made available to all suitable (interested) economic operators in the EU
- Proportionality - Requirements and specifications must be appropriate and necessary (OR not be disproportionate or excessive. OR go beyond what is necessary)
To learn more about the regulations Energinet must adhere to, please see the link box where links to the EU Utility Directive and a guide to the Danish tender law is placed.
