ACER is running a public consultation from 17 July to 25 September 2023 to gather stakeholders’ views on concrete amendment proposals on two European electricity grid connection network codes:
- Network Code on Requirements for Grid Connection of Generators; and
- Network Code on Demand Connection.
Stakeholders can submit their comments separately, to one or both network codes.
Why change the rules?
Since the development of the first European grid connection network codes in 2012, there have been important policy developments in decarbonising Europe’s energy and transport sectors.
The revisions of these network codes are needed to update the existing regulatory framework to ensure Europe’s interconnected power system is adapted to emerging trends, such as increasing number of electricity storage modules, electrical charging points for e-vehicles, or the proliferation of distributed energy resources.
