47The Court has already made it clear that neither the date on which the system was put in place nor the fact that it is intended for self-consumption and operated by a private entity, to which a limited number of generation and consumption units are connected, nor its size or consumption of electricity constitute relevant criteria in that regard, since the EU legislature did not intend to exclude particular transmission or distribution systems from the scope of the directive by reason of those criteria (see, by analogy, judgment of 22 May 2008, citiworks, C‑439/06, EU:C:2008:298, paragraph 49, and, to that effect, judgment of 28 November 2018, Solvay Chimica Italia and Others, C‑262/17, C‑263/17 and C‑273/17, EU:C:2018:961, paragraphs 31 and 35).
