Fostering market integrity and transparency
ACER can set up expert groups to provide ad hoc support and advice on REMIT topics.
In appointing the expert groups' members, ACER seeks to ensure a balanced representation of market participants, organised markets and other persons professionally arranging transactions, users and distributors of wholesale energy market information (e.g. information providers, analysts), and ENTSOs.
The group meets on an ad hoc basis, at least twice per year.
The call for the establishment of a REMIT expert group on wholesale energy market trading, integrity and transparency was launched on 1 October 2020. The newest expert group advises ACER on topics related to the EU Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency (REMIT).
On 1 December 2022, a call was launched for an Expert Group on LNG Price Assessment/Benchmarks. This expert group will provide advice and contribute to ACER’s new tasks related to LNG price assessment and/or benchmarks mandated under Council Regulation (EU) 2022/2576 of 19 December 2022 enhancing solidarity through better coordination of gas purchases, reliable price benchmarks and exchanges of gas across borders.
