The Agency and ENTSO-E invite all interested parties to submit their comments on the consultation document on the Role of stakeholders in the implementation of network codes and related guidelines, and in particular on the establishment of European Network Code Stakeholder Committees.
 
Responses to the consultation must be sent to consultation.acer@entsoe.eu by 23 January midnight, Central European Time.
 
Background information
 
Network codes were developed with a view to achieve Europe’s key energy policy goals of security of supply, competitive internal energy market (IEM) and decarbonisation. This is why network codes need to be implemented and complied with throughout the European Union.
 
All market participants, Distribution System Operators (DSOs), Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs), Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and regulators will be involved. The implementation of network codes will be work intensive. Strong, continuous and effective stakeholder engagement is key for the successful implementation of network codes. This is why extensive consultation needs to be organised throughout the implementation phase.
 
With the draft guideline on capacity allocation and congestion management (CACM), adopted by Member States in comitology on 5 December 2014, the European Commission tasked ACER, in close collaboration with ENTSO-E, to establish a stakeholder committee to facilitate discussion with stakeholders during the implementation phase of the different network codes.

The Agency and ENTSO-E received 33 responses to this Joint Public Consultation on the establishment of European Network Code Stakeholder Committees (PC_2014_E_08), which can be viewed below.
The Evaluation of the responses received during the public consultation  as a summary document can be viewed here. The Draft Terms of Reference, prepared by ACER and ENTSO-E on the basis of the feedback received in the public consultation process, can be read here.
