59As the Court has stated in paragraphs 42 and 43 of this judgment, the national measure at issue in the main proceedings imposes an increased charge for a transitional period for access to and use of the national electricity transmission system only on undertakings generating and distributing electricity from hydroelectric or geothermal installations to offset the advantage created for those undertakings, during the transitional period, by the altered legal framework following the liberalisation of the market in electricity as a result of the implementation of Directive 96/92. Whilst such a measure treats differently situations which are not comparable, it is nevertheless a matter for the national court to satisfy itself that the increased charge does not go beyond what is necessary to offset that advantage.
