In its observations, Xergies considers that in accordance with the provisions of the Decision of the Energy Regulatory Commission of 11 June 2009 To comply with the procedures for processing requests for connection of network operators the maximum time limit for the preparation and transmission of technical and financial proposals is three months
It adds that the same period of three months is specified in the procedure for processing applications for connection established by the EDF company, which refers to Article 4.7 of Article 8.3 of the RAG specification, according to which the manager Of the public electricity network shall be required to do so within three months Proposal concerning the technical and financial arrangements for connection in response to a request for connection from a producer.
The company Xergies concluded that EDF was therefore required to respect such a time limit for the establishment Technical and financial proposals.
It states that the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee, in particular in a decision " JUWI " On June 4, 2010, he acknowledged that he was competent to punish the ignorance, by a network manager, of his own procedure for processing connection requests and to erase the consequences of such misknowledge.
La Xergies also states that the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee, in a decision " VENTURA company " On 28 June 2007, took the view that the three-month period for transmitting a technical and financial proposal was a legally binding rule for the network manager.
It submits, in the alternative, that the provisions of Article 3 of the Decree of 9 December 2010 constitutes a manifest infringement of the principle of non-retroactivity of the acts and cannot therefore be opposed to it.
Company Xergies states that, in accordance with the decision of the Energy Regulatory Commission of 11 June 2009 a technical proposal and Financial and technical proposals made by the Commission to EDF were validly and definitively concluded on 3 December 2010, the date of notification of the acceptance of these
It concludes that the said conventions remain governed by the laws and regulations in force at the time of the conclusion, in accordance with the administrative case-law, the provisions of the Decree of 9 December 2010 are not Opposable.
Finally, Xergies argues that if the regulatory authority is Empowered by law to suspend the obligation to enter into contracts for the purchase of electricity, it has no power to suspend the obligation on public electricity network operators to enter into contracts of
It concludes that the EDF company could not properly implement the decree of 9 December 2010 to decide that the connection procedures were affected by the suspension introduced by this decree.
Xergies, therefore, requests the Dispute Resolution Committee and the Sanctions of the Energy Regulatory Commission of:
Main title:
-see EDF SEI's fault in that it failed to comply with the three-month deadline for the transmission of technical and financial proposals Requested by the company Xergies for its solar farm projects in Pratellu, Volucciu and Valle d' Osa;
In the alternative:
-see the inopposability of Decree n ° 2010-1510 of 9 December 2010 to the company Xergies, as part of the procedures for connection to the current electricity network ;
And therefore, in all cases:
-say that EDF SEI was not founded, by letter of 22 December 2010, to rely on the date on which the company Xergies notified its acceptance of the three technical and financial proposals in order to decide to oppose it Suspended by the decree of 9 December 2010 and to require it to send new complete applications for connection after the period of suspension;
-that EDF SEI must be deemed to have established and transmitted the Three bridging agreements as of September 9, 2010;
-that the corporation Xergies, in its capacity as an agent, shall be deemed to have notified its acceptance of the three technical and financial proposals and paid the relevant payments as of 30 November 2010, subject to it being sent to EDF SEI the Cheques corresponding to the said payments within the maximum period of 15 days from the notification of the decision to be made;
-to say that the 18-month period for commissioning the facility, as provided for in Article 4 of the Decree of 9 December 2010, will be compute only from the date of notification of the decision to Intervene.

In view of the defence observations, recorded on 4 March 2011, presented by Electricité de France (EDF), a public limited company registered in the Register of Commerce and Companies of Paris under the Number B 552 081 317, of which the head office is located 22-30, avenue de Wagram, 75008 Paris, represented by its legal director France, M. Oliviers SACHS, having as counsel Mr. Emmanuel GUILLAUME and Mr. Simon DABOUSSY, Cabinet Baker & McKenzie, 1, rue Paul-Baudry, 75008 Paris.
EDF considers that the Disputes and sanctions are not competent to hear the dispute raised by the company Xergies as soon as the network manager has duly instructed the connection requests and no refusal of connection can be characterized in The species.
It submits that the request of the company Xergies Energia aims exclusively to escape the suspension of the obligation to purchase provided for by the decree of 9 December 2010, in the sole objective of obtaining a contract of obligation to purchase Conditions laid down by the order of 12 January 2010. It observes, therefore, that the company Xergies does not in any way complain about the technical or financial conditions of connection proposed to it. It invokes the decision rendered on 21 January 2011 by the Dispute and Sanctions Committee in a dispute between the company Nicodis and the company EDF.
EDF considers that the dispute settlement committee and the Sanctions are not competent to characterise any damage resulting from acts considered to be at fault on the part of the network manager, within the meaning of Article 38 of the Act of 10 February 2000 (now Articles L. 134-19 et seq. Of the Energy Code).
It adds that the three month time limit to send a Technical and financial proposal to a producer is indicative and no penalty attaches to its non-compliance.
EDF also states that the massive influx of connection requests is a foreign matter within the meaning of section 1147 of the Civil Code and that such an influx led to an increase in the processing time for connection requests without That EDF company can call on temporary staff In view of the technicality and specificity required for processing such applications.
It states that the Decree of 9 December 2010 applies to installations which, like those of the company Xergies, have not yet been the subject of a Purchase contract on 10 December 2010.
EDF argues that the dispute settlement and sanctions committee is not competent to determine the legality of the decree of 9 December 2010 and that it must recognise that the EDF company has no alternative but to submit to this regulatory act.
It Adds that the obligation not to apply a text that is illegal rests solely with the administration that is the author and that this is not the case for the dispute resolution and sanctions committee.
EDF argues that the Circumstances under which the projects of the company Xergies were found subject to the decree of 9 December 2010 are without effect on the applicability of this decree to such projects as decided by the Dispute Settlement Committee And sanctions in a comparable case by a decision of 21 January 2011, " Macouria 2 solar power plant ".
As a result, EDF asks the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee to reject the Xergies Company's request.

In response to the reply comments, Registered on 28 March 2011, presented by the company Xergies.
Company Xergies points out that the procedure established to obtain the connection of a photovoltaic installation and the sale of electricity at rates fixed by the State is not Of its fact and requires chronologically a connection request which when it Will be accepted will allow the producer to enforce its right to purchase.
It does not dispute that it will benefit from the procurement obligation for its facilities projects, but clarifies that the dispute raised is only relative to the Agreements to connect or refuse to sign such agreements and thus fall within the jurisdiction of the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee.
The Xergies Company specifies that it requests the Dispute Resolution Committee and the Dispute Resolution Committee. Sanctions to decide whether or not his projects were entitled to To benefit from a bridging agreement.
It states that the failure to complain about the technical and financial conditions relating to the connection of photovoltaic installations cannot escape the dispute in question. The competence of the dispute settlement committee and the sanctions when they dispute the refusal of the EDF company to grant their application for connection agreements.
Company Xergies states that the non-compliance of the Procedure for processing applications for connection by the EDF company be qualified as Error, default or difficulty does not matter to the extent that it is unquestionably for the Dispute Settlement Committee and the sanctions to hear disputes arising from the non-compliance by EDF of the processing times of the
It points out that the maximum period of three months to establish and transmit a connection offer emerges from the decision of the Energy Regulatory Commission of 11 June 2009.
Company Xers Adds that it is appropriate to draw a parallel between the three-month time limit for which a Applicant for a connection to notify its technical and financial proposal on pain of lapses in its application and the same three-month period available to the manager to establish such a technical and financial
. That in compliance with " Fairness of contracts " It does not seem incongruous to consider that this period of three months is also necessary for the company EDF.
Company Xergies believes that in this way it is well for the dispute settlement committee and the sanctions to assess the consequences of the Failure to meet the processing times by the EDF company of applications for connection.
It asks EDF to produce a precise count of the number of application files filed each year between 1 January 2007 and the December 2010 to check the reality of exponential growth of such Applications as supported by EDF.
Company Xergies asserts that, to the extent that EDF receives funding through the contribution to the public service of electricity such an increase in the demand for Connection, assuming that it exists, cannot constitute a foreign matter exonerating its liability.
The company Xergies therefore requests the Dispute Settlement Committee and the sanctions of the Commission for the Regulation of The energy of:
A principal title:
-note the failings of EDF SEI in that it failed to comply with the three-month deadline for the transmission of the technical and financial proposals requested by the company Xergies for its Pratellu solar farm projects, Volucciu and Valle d' Osa;
In the alternative:
-see the inopposability of Decree n ° 2010-1510 of 9 December 2010 to the company Xergies, as part of the procedures for connection to the current electricity network ;
And therefore, in all cases:
-say that EDF SEI was not founded, by letter of 22 December 2010, to rely on the date on which the company Xergies notified its acceptance of the three technical and financial proposals in order to decide to oppose it Suspended by the decree of 9 December 2010 and to require it to send new complete applications for connection after the period of suspension;
-that EDF SEI must be deemed to have established and transmitted the Three bridging agreements as of September 9, 2010;
-that the corporation Xergies, in its capacity as an agent, shall be deemed to have notified its acceptance of the three technical and financial proposals and paid the relevant payments as of 30 November 2010, subject to it being sent to EDF SEI the Cheques corresponding to the said payments within the maximum period of 15 days from the notification of the decision to be made;
-to say that the 18-month period for commissioning the facility, as provided for in Article 4 of the Decree of 9 December 2010, will be compute only from the date of notification of the decision to Intervene.

Due to the rejoinder, recorded on April 8, 2011, submitted by the company EDF.
EDF submits that the reply comments of Xergies show that its application Tends only to obtain a decision from the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee to avoid the provisions of the Order-in-Council of December 9, 2010.
It adds that this is not a denial of access To the network within the meaning of the provisions of the Energy Code but of the impossibility of Continue the training of applications for connection as a result of the entry into force of the decree of 9 December 2010.
The EDF company states that no contractual relationship has been established with the company Xergies insofar as the company EDF does not have Signed the technical and financial proposals and so it is not appropriate to mention " Fairness of contracts ".
It produces a document demonstrating that the teams in charge of processing connection requests have seen their workload grow as never before.
As a result, EDF maintains its predecessors Conclusions.

In view of the additional observations, recorded on September 27, 2012, presented by Xergies.
Company Xergies maintains that the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee is Perfectly competent to hear the dispute between EDF and EDF As has already been explicitly recognized in many similar species.
It states that the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee, in a decision " Arbellara MSO " On 11 June 2012, has already acknowledged that an applicant is entitled to rely on the company's failure to comply with the three-month deadline to establish and transmit the proposal to the EDF company Even it would not be an obligation to achieve results.
Company Xergies adds that the elements produced by EDF do not demonstrate an exponential increase in connection requests in 2010 as soon as In particular, the total number of applications received in 2010 is not far from the 2008.
As a result, Xergies asks the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee of the Energy Regulatory Commission of:
A main title:
-see the errors and errors of the EDF SEI in that it has not complied with the three-month deadline for the transmission of the technical and financial proposals requested by the company Xergies for its projects of solar farms in Pratellu, Volucciu and Valle d' Osa;
A Subsidiary title:
-see the inopposability of Decree n ° 2010-1510 of 9 December 2010 to the company Xergies, as part of the procedures for connection to the current electricity network ;
And therefore, in all cases:
-say that EDF SEI was not founded, by letter of 22 December 2010, to rely on the date on which the company Xergies notified its acceptance of the three technical and financial proposals in order to decide to oppose it Suspended by the decree of 9 December 2010 and to require it to send new complete applications for connection after the period of suspension;
-that EDF SEI must be deemed to have established and transmitted the Three bridging agreements as of September 9, 2010;
-that the corporation Xergies, in its capacity as an agent, shall be deemed to have notified its acceptance of the three technical and financial proposals and paid the relevant payments as of 30 November 2010, subject to it being sent to EDF SEI the Cheques corresponding to the said payments within the maximum period of 15 days from the notification of the decision to be made;
-to say that the 18-month period for commissioning the facility, as provided for in Article 4 of the Decree of 9 December 2010, will be compute only from the date of notification of the decision to Intervene.

In view of the additional observations, recorded on October 15, 2012, submitted by EDF.
EDF maintains that it has faced a large influx of connection requests between On August 23 and September 1, 2010, which had an impact on the processing time of the connection requests for which the EDF company had already been seized.
It states that the Dispute Settlement and Sanctions Committee refuses, as is apparent Of its decision " Soproder " On 8 July 2011, to consider that the producer may be deemed to have accepted the offer of connection at the expiration of the three-month period if that offer was submitted to him later.
EDF submits that the Court of Appeal of Paris confirmed this decision of the Dispute Settlement and Sanctions Committee on October 4, 2012, and clarified that the three-month time limit for the establishment of a bridging offer is not subject to sanction and is not a Obligation of result.
Finally, it states that, as specified by the Disputes and sanctions, including in the decision " Solabios and Voltaica societies " On 11 June 2012, a company which did not notify before 2 December 2010, as in the present case, its acceptance of the technical and financial proposal falls within the scope of the decree of 9 December 2010 and must, if it wishes to grant its Installation at the end of the suspension introduced by the decree of December 9, 2010, make a new request for connection.
EDF therefore maintains its previous conclusions.

On the Jurisdiction of the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee:
Under Article L. 134-19 of the Energy Code:
" The Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee may be seized in the event of a dispute:
1 ° Between managers and users of public electricity transmission or distribution networks; (...)
These disputes relate to access to such networks, works and installations or to their use, in particular in the case of Refusal of access or disagreement on the conclusion, interpretation or performance of the contracts referred to in Articles L. 111-91 to L. 111-94, L. 321-11 and L. 321-12, or contracts relating to the transport and geological storage of dioxide Of the carbon referred to in Article L. 229-49 of the Environment
. Referral to the committee is at the initiative of either party. "
It is apparent from the documents in the file that, on 3 December 2010, the company Xergies sent the company EDF for each of the three facilities projects two signed copies of the technical and financial proposal accompanied by the deposit check Requested.
Company Xergies asks the Dispute Resolution Committee and the sanctions committee to decide whether EDF was entitled, as it did, to refuse to execute the technical and financial proposals and to continue The process of connecting its installations.
Thus, contrary to this Which is supported by the company EDF, the requests of the company Xergies concerning the procedures for maintaining the connection and continuation of the process of connection of its production facilities, there is therefore a dispute Linked to access to the network between, on the one hand, the company Xergies and, on the other hand, the company EDF, which falls within the competence of the dispute settlement committee and the sanctions.
On the lack of knowledge by the EDF company of its documentation Reference technique:
Xergies asks the Dispute Resolution Committee and the sanctions committee to say that EDF has disregarded its procedure for processing connection requests.
EDF argues that the legislator has not set a deadline The issue of a technical and financial proposal for a connection, and that the Dispute Resolution Committee and the Sanctions Committee have recognized the indicative nature of the three-month period for the issuance of a proposal for a Connection.
The procedure for processing individual connection requests In BT of power greater than 36 kVA and in HTA to the public distribution network managed by EDF, which is part of its reference technical documentation, provides in its version applicable to the species and in Article 4.7 that the EDF company has Of a period of three months in accordance with the specifications for the concession of the general power supply network for the transmission of a technical and financial proposal to the applicant for connection
File that the connection requests were considered complete by the corporation EDF, April 20, 2010 for the project " Valle d' Osa solar farm ", and June 9, 2010 for projects" Pratellu solar farm " And " Volucciu solar farm ", and that the corresponding technical and financial proposals were notified, on 19 October, 23 November and 1 December 2010, by the EDF company to the company Xergies.
Technical and financial proposals Have therefore not been notified within the period of three months by the EDF company to the company Xergies, which constitutes a lack of knowledge by the EDF company of its technical reference documentation, which provides for its transmission within a period which " Will not exceed three months ".
The company Xergies is, therefore, founded to rely on the knowledge by the EDF company of its technical reference documentation, even if this obligation is not an obligation of result.
Sur The application of the decree of 9 December 2010:
Xergies calls on the Dispute Resolution Committee and the sanctions committee to say, in the main proceedings, that the application of the decree of 9 December 2010 must be rejected and, in the alternative, that the decree of 9 December 2010 cannot Be opposed due to the failure of the EDF company to its technical reference documentation.
It therefore asks the Dispute Resolution Committee and the Sanctions Committee to determine the unenforceability of decree n ° 2010-1510 of December 9 2010 to the company Xergies, as part of the procedures for connecting to the current electrical grid.
EDF argues that the Dispute Resolution and Sanctions Committee can only reject these requests in so far as it Must comply with the provisions of the Order-in-Council of December 9, 2010.


*

It is within the jurisdiction of the Dispute Resolution Committee and the sanctions committee to verify the proper application by EDF of this Order.
Article 1 of the Decree of 9 December 2010 provides that the " obligation to enter into a contract Purchase of electricity produced by the installations mentioned in Article 2 of the Decree of 6 December 2000 referred to above shall be suspended for a period of three months after the entry into force of this Decree. No new applications can be filed during the period of suspension. "
Article 3 of the Decree of 9 December 2010 provides that" The provisions of Article 1 shall not apply to electricity generation installations from the radiative energy of the sun whose producer has notified the network operator, by 2 December 2010, of its acceptance of the proposal Technical and financial connection to the network ".
The provisions of Article 5 of that decree finally state that" after the period of suspension referred to in Article 1, the suspended applications shall be the subject of a new Complete request to connect to network to benefit from contract Obligation to purchase ".
It follows from these provisions that where the processing of connection requests makes it necessary for the prior establishment of a technical and financial proposal to be established, a company which has not notified the Network manager its acceptance of the technical and financial proposal before 2 December 2010 cannot benefit from the provisions of Article 3 of this decree and must, if it wishes to grant its installation of photovoltaic production to The end of the period of suspension, make a new connection request.
Non-compliance with the maximum period of three months for the submission of a technical and financial proposal by the EDF company, if regrettable, does not, in the silence of the texts, allow the application of the decree of 9 December to be excluded 2010.
The company Xergies did not notify, before 2 December 2010, its acceptance of the technical and financial proposals, the provisions of Article 5 of the Decree of 9 December 2010 apply to it. It is up to it if it wishes to connect its photovoltaic production facilities to the public distribution network to file a new full connection request, in accordance with that same article.
As a result of the surplus of applications Xergies must be rejected.
Decides:

Item 1


Electricité de France has not experienced its processing of connection requests.

Item 2


Surplus of Xergies company requests is rejected.

Item 3


This decision will be notified to the company Xergies and Electricité de France. It will be published in the Official Journal of the French Republic.
