Question juridique clé
Whether terraced houses may be charged the electricity subscription fee like single-family houses rather than like apartments.
Solution extraite
Yes. The tariff classification was permissible because the relevant criteria, especially installed capacity and connection burden, justified treating the terraced houses like single-family houses.
Motifs extraits
The court held that user fees may be schematized if the tariff remains within the limits of equivalence, arbitrariness control, and equal treatment. The SWG used a defensible criterion—the installed capacity of 102 ampere, comparable to single-family houses and significantly above apartments—and thus the classification was not unreasonable. The practice also fit the regulatory rule that the subscription price depends on the category or available power.
