Abstract
This article refers to the legal status of a prosumer as a participant of the electricity market or, more precisely, to an entity to which the legislator has granted the right to produce electricity from renewable energy sources in micro-installations. The considerations presented in this article are twofold, and thus coherent with the economic and legal concept of a prosumer in the market economy, including the electricity market. The analysis concerns, on the one hand, the prosecutor’s legal situation in the field of electricity generation activities as well as, on the other hand, the conditions of the use of self generated electricity in order to meet their own needs. The issue is important because the legal definition of a prosumer is a new concept in the legal order.
