ACER and European Commission workshop: REMIT implementation updates

ACER and the European Commission’s Directorate General for Energy (DG ENER) are organising an online workshop to discuss recent developments in the implementation of REMIT.

The Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency (REMIT) is the EU framework that prevents wholesale energy market abuse and supports fair competition. The Regulation was revised in 2024 to ensure the regulatory framework keeps pace with evolving market dynamics.

Since the revision, progress has been made on two main fronts:

• preparing the adoption of the secondary legislation; and
• advancing REMIT implementation (by enhancing data sharing and accessibility, as well as strengthening market integrity through improved monitoring). 

Key REMIT developments

• Secondary legislation: The revised REMIT introduces updated rules to promote competition among market participants and to increase transparency and prevent manipulation. This will imply stricter supervision of entities that report data to ACER, as well as improved reporting processes, enabling more effective market monitoring and earlier detection of potential abuses. 
• Data transparency: Significant steps have been taken to improve access to energy market data through new tools, such as ACER’s REMIT Data Reference Centre and its Inside Information Access Point. Further work to enhance data sharing and making data available is ongoing.
• Market integrity: ACER issued its first reports on the detection, reporting and response to suspicious energy market behaviours under REMIT, identifying areas for improvement and suggesting ways to address them. 

Workshop objective

This joint workshop aims to:

• present the latest developments in REMIT implementation and the process for adopting the secondary legislation;
• exchange views on how data sharing can better support market transparency;
• share progress on enhancing market integrity through multi-stage monitoring; and
• address stakeholders’ questions, encouraging their active involvement in REMIT implementation and the development of ACER’s guidance documents.

What are the next steps?

Insights gathered during the workshop will help steer ACER’s and the European Commission’s work.
