UK: Landmark ruling leads to the suspension of the UK Capacity Market
On 15 November 2018, the General Court (the EU’s lower-tier court) found in favour of Tempus Energy in its challenge against the 2014 European Commission decision to grant State aid approval to the UK Capacity Market (the “CM”). The decision means that all Capacity Market arrangements have now been suspended, pending a new and more detailed investigation by the European Commission into the State aid compliance of the arrangements.
