A party sought a declaratory judgment regarding the interpretation of a water rights concession agreement, specifically Article 14(1) of the Göscheneralp Concession, to definitively establish the obligation concerning the supply of electricity produced at the power plant. The court held that a legitimate interest in a declaratory judgment exists not only to secure an immediately due performance but also to ascertain the validity of the underlying legal relationship for future dealings, thereby preventing contradictory rulings. The court ultimately determined that neither of the respondents was obligated to preferentially supply the claimants with the electric energy produced at the power plant to cover the energy needs in the canton, beyond what was already covered by existing local utilities.

Wasserrecht. Art. 66 lit. b VRPV. Art. 14 Abs. 1 Göscheneralp-Konzession. Wasserrechtskonzessionen. Forderung aus Konzessionsverträgen. Verwaltungsrechtliche Klage. Leistungsund Feststellungsbegehren. Ein Feststellungsinteresse kann auch bestehen, wenn es darum geht, nicht nur die fällige Leistung zu erhalten, sondern die Gültigkeit des zugrundeliegenden Rechtverhältnisses auch für dessen künftige Abwicklung ein für allemal feststellen zu lassen, um widersprüchliche Urteile zu vermeiden. Auslegung von Art. 14 Abs. 1 Göscheneralp-Konzession vom 22. September 1954 (Fassung gemäss Landratsbeschluss vom 24.09.1986, in Kraft seit 01.01.1986). Feststellung, dass weder die Beklagte 1 noch die Beklagte 2 die Verpflichtung trifft, die im Kraftwerk Göschenen produzierte elektrische Energie vorweg, d.h. vor jeder anderen Verwendung den Klägern zur Deckung des jeweiligen Bedarfes an elektrischer Energie im Kanton Uri zu liefern, soweit dieser Bedarf nicht bereits durch bestehende und künftige Ortswerke gedeckt wird.
