On 24 November 2022, the Council reached political agreement on the Regulation “Enhancing solidarity through better coordination of gas purchases, reliable price benchmarks and exchanges of gas across borders”, which will soon enter into force.
The Regulation tasks ACER with producing and publishing a new daily Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) price assessment two weeks after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, and grants ACER the powers to collect LNG market data.
As of today, 20 December 2022, LNG market participants who need to comply with their reporting obligation under the Regulation will be able to register and submit their LNG market data to ACER via a dedicated data collection platform, called TERMINAL.
To send the data to ACER, LNG market participants must be registered in the Centralised European Register of Energy Market Participants (CEREMP) and also in TERMINAL.
ACER provides step by step guidance to LNG market participants on how to register.
