In the context of ACER’s current review of the EU wholesale electricity market design, ACER is organising an (online) stakeholder workshop on Thursday 10th February (09.00-13.00).
Workshop Objective: The aim is have an open discussion among interested stakeholders on issues such as:
- the benefits and drawbacks of the current wholesale electricity market design and related matters
- the issue of sufficient revenue certainty in electricity markets, in view of the massive investment needs up ahead, and
- options for cushioning or shielding end-consumers from perceived excessive levels of price volatility that impact affordability.
See the workshop agenda.
Register before Tuesday 8th February.
Background:
The European Commission, in October 2021, tasked ACER with:
- carrying out an assessment of the benefits and drawbacks of the current EU wholesale electricity market design by April 2022, and
- providing a preliminary assessment by mid November 2021.
ACER published its Preliminary Assessment of Europe’s high energy prices and the current wholesale electricity market design in November.
