Elektro Gorenjska found to have coordinated household electricity price increase

Company: Elektro Gorenjska d.d.

Summary

Slovenia's Competition Protection Office found that Elektro Gorenjska and four other electricity distributors acted in concert when they announced almost identical household electricity price increases on 22-23 November 2007, all effective on 1 January 2008. The authority concluded that the conduct restricted competition in Slovenia. The Supreme Court later upheld the national competition-law findings, while removing only the separate EU-law conclusion concerning effect on trade between Member States.
