In order to meet the requirements for a fair competition in the supply with electricity and gas, the Bavarian Regulatory Authorities (Landesregulierungsbehörden) and the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) which is seated in Bonn are competent for the regulation of the electricity and gas networks.

However, the Bavarian Regulatory Authorities are not competent for the examination of energy prices for final customers. Objections to excessive energy prices for final customers will continue to fall into the jurisdiction of the respective Bavarian Competition Authorities (Landeskartellbehörden) or of the civil courts. The Federal Cartel Office (Bundeskartellamt) is competent for the examination of energy prices for final customers being levied by energy suppliers operating on a nationwide basis.

The Bavarian Regulatory Authority's address is as follows:

80525 München
