Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER)

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 13, 2026 - The Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) has published the 43rd edition of its REMIT Quarterly, centering on newly established Rules of Procedure that define the procedural framework for ACER's cross-border investigatory mandate under the EU's wholesale energy market integrity regulation. The publication follows a 2024 legislative update that granted ACER expanded authority, including direct power to investigate cross-border market manipulation cases. With 456 REMIT breach cases under review at the close of Q4 2025, the operational scale of enforcement has grown substantially, making the procedural ruleset a critical reference for compliance and legal teams across European energy markets.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 13, 2026 - The Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) opened a public consultation on April 13, 2026, targeting developments in the EU Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) market, with submissions accepted through April 13, 2026. The consultation targets regulatory, market, and financial factors shaping PPA availability and functioning across all EU Member States. Responses will feed directly into ACER's 2026 annual assessment of the EU PPAs market, making this process a formal input to the agency's statutory monitoring role. For energy buyers, generators, and national regulators, the outcome will influence how Member States are evaluated against their obligations under the revised Renewable Energy Directive.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 03, 2026 - Wholesale energy market participants operating across EU borders now face a materially different compliance environment: ACER's newly published Rules of Procedure for cross-border investigations establish the procedural framework under which the agency exercises its expanded investigatory mandate, granted by EU legislators in 2024 under the revised REMIT framework. The 43rd edition of the REMIT Quarterly sets out these rules in full and signals an accelerating enforcement posture across European energy markets.
