The notion, the legal nature and the importance of the contracts for the provision of services in the energy field

The wording of the notion and the importance of contracts for the provision of services in the energy field are to be made based on the provisions of the Civil Code and the special laws applicable in the energy field, including jurisprudence. The research was aimed at highlighting some aspects related to redefining the contracts for the supply of electricity and natural gas in a new wording. To this end, the notion, the legal nature and the importance of service contracts in the energy field were analyzed. Also, the concepts underlying the contracts for the provision of services in the energy field were determined. No less important in this respect are the provisions of the Civil Code of the Republic of Moldova which transposed (EU) Directive 2011/83 on consumers. In this article, special attention has also been paid to the doctrine, as the history of the evolution of the institution of contracts also has an important role to play in the provision of services in the field of energy. In the same context, the case law is of particular interest.
