III.3.12.

Should wholesale energy contracts  concerning very small amounts of energy be reported to the Agency?

Answer: Wholesale energy contracts are to be reported to the Agency in line with Article 3(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1348/2014. However, small contracts for the physical delivery of

(i) electricity produced by production units with capacity of equal or less than 10 MW, or

(ii) gas produced by production units with capacity of equal or less than equal or less than 20 MW,

shall be reportable only upon reasoned request of the Agency and on an ad-hoc basis, unless concluded on OMP. The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1348/2014 defines the reporting of small contracts in its Article 4(1)(b) and (c)^[1].
