(b)the supply of gas or heat to such fixed networks.

The supply by a contracting entity referred to in points (b) and (c) of Article 7(1) of gas or heat to fixed networks which provide a service to the public shall not be considered to be a relevant activity within the meaning of paragraph 1 where all of the following conditions are met:

(i)the production of gas or heat by that contracting entity is the unavoidable consequence of carrying out an activity other than those referred to in this paragraph or in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Annex;

(ii)the supply to the public network is aimed only at the economic exploitation of such production and amounts to not more than 20 % of that contracting entity’s turnover on the basis of the average for the preceding three years, including the current year.

For the purposes of this Directive, ‘supply’ includes the generation/production, wholesale and retail sale of gas. However, production of gas in the form of extraction falls within the scope of paragraph 4 of this Annex.
