​​​​​​The Board of Regulators plays a key role within the Agency. It is in charge of the regulatory policy and provides opinions on various Agency Acts considered for adoption and issues guidance to the Director.

It approves the Agency’s work programme and is consulted on other key matters.

The Board of Regulators consists of senior representatives of the 27 National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) of Member States and non-voting representatives from EEA EFTA States, the European Commission and the EFTA Surveillance Authority.

The Board of Regulators must act independently and must not take instructions from any government of a Member State, from the European Commission, or from another public or private entity.​

The Board of Regulators adopts its ⁠rules of proc​edure, regulating the way NRAs cooperate together through ACER.

Decisions of the BoR are adopted on the basis of a two-thirds majority of the members present (each membe​r has only one vote).​​​

ACER Board of Appeal adopted the Rules of Organisation and Procedure for appeals in 2019. These Rules (last amended in November 2023) establish the framework for the appeal process, ensuring efficient decision-making and upholding the procedural rights of the parties involved.

To support parties acting in compliance with the legal requirements and prepare their appeals in the most effective way, the Board of Appeal has adopted Practice Directions and a set of templates (cover sheet with general information, table of annexes, confidentiality request, announcement of appeal and a checklist). 

Whilst they are not compulsory, the Board recommends their use to avoid​ possible delays or declarations of inadmissibility.​

The Board of Appeal has also adopted Instructions to the Registrar which can be found in the box below.

The relationship of the Board of Appeal and the Agency in administrative terms is governed by the Administrative Arrangement.​

The ACER Regulation grants ACER the authority to make individual decisions and establishes a Board of Appeal to handle appeals against specific decisions, outlined in Article 2(d). These include decisions related to:

• requests for information;
• approval of methodologies;
• terms and conditions;
• infrastructure; and
• some aspects of wholesale market integrity and transparency.

Any natural or legal person may appeal an ACER decision that is addressed to them or is of direct and individual concern to them.

The Board of Appeal operates as an independent body to address complaints lodged against ACER decisions. It examines whether the appeal is valid and can either confirm ACER’s decision or remit the case back to the competent ACER body for further action. 

Decisions taken by the Board of Appeal may as well be appealed before the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The Board of Appeal is part of ACER but at the same time independent from its administrative and regulatory structure. It is essential that members and alternates act independently and in the public interest.

The Board of Appeal is composed by six members and six alternates for a mandate of 5 years (renewable once).

Members and alternates are selected among current or former senior staff of the national regulatory authorities (NRAs), competition authorities or other national or EU institutions with relevant experience in the energy sector.​

The Board designates its Chair and Vice-Chair from among its members. The Chair is responsible for presiding and allocating appeal proceedings, while the Vice-Chair steps in for the Chair in case of unavailability.

To ensure the Board of Appeal operates smoothly and efficiently, a Registry has been established. The Registry supports the Board by managing the appeal process, handling correspondence and maintaining case files.

For more information on the Registry’s responsibilities, please refer to the Instructions to the Registrar.
