Europe has an EU-wide framework (called “REMIT”) to detect and deter market manipulation and abuse in wholesale energy markets. It enhances transparency and trust in the integrity of Europe’s energy markets. In 2024, EU legislators updated the REMIT framework giving ACER additional tasks, including the power to investigate cross-border cases.
ACER’s REMIT Quarterlies provide updates on REMIT-related activities, helping stakeholders stay informed.
What's new?
The latest REMIT Quarterly (43rd edition) features ACER’s new Rules of Procedure for cross-border investigations. These rules set out the procedural framework within which ACER carries out its cross-border investigatory mandate under REMIT.
Find out more in this Quarterly about:
- ACER’s stakeholder engagement plan for 2026.
- ACER’s ongoing preparatory work on data reporting under the revised REMIT, pending finalisation of the revised REMIT Implementing Regulation.
- Updates on market surveillance and statistics on the 456 REMIT breach cases under review at the end of Q4 2025.
- A case report on an attempt to manipulate the Spanish gas market, investigated and sanctioned by Spain’s energy regulator (CNMC).
- A summary of market activity, showing a year-on-year increase in trading on Organised Market Places, driven by growth in natural gas forward markets.
- Takeaways from November 2025 events, including Expert Groups’ meetings on Wholesale Energy Market Data Reporting and the ACER-European Commission REMIT workshop.
Coming soon
ACER will soon launch a public consultation on a new guideline on REMIT transaction reporting to reflect evolving obligations under the revised REMIT framework. Details on the scope and timeline will follow shortly.
