In accordance with the undertaking document, E.ON is prepared to sell its ultrahigh-voltage transmission system (380,000/220,000 volts) in Germany to an operator not active in power generation or power supply. This system has a total length of 10,000km and extends from the Danish border to the Austrian border.
The European Commission will review E.ON’s undertaking document in the coming months. At the same time it will conduct a market test in which it will ask other market participants in Europe how E.ON’s proposals could affect competition. The commission will then decide whether or not to end its current antitrust proceedings against E.ON. This process is expected to take until fall 2008.
