The Commission is seeking feedback on 2 important sets of draft rules aimed at making energy markets more transparent and fairer. These rules are being developed under the Regulation (EU) 1227/2011 on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency (REMIT), as amended in 2024, which helps promote competition among market participants by enhancing transparency of energy markets and preventing market manipulation. The feedback period is open until 15 September 2025.

One set of rules, a proposal for a Delegated Regulation on inside information platforms and registered reporting mechanisms, involves enhancing the supervision of entities that report energy market data to the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER). The goal is to make sure that the process for authorising and overseeing these entities is straightforward and fair. After the closure of the feedback period and the analysis of the input received, the Commission will adopt these rules, and then the Parliament and Council will have 2 months to formulate any objections. If they do not, the Delegated Regulation will enter into force. 

The other set of rules, a proposal for amending the already existent Implementing Regulation (EU) 1348/2014 on data reporting, involves improving how energy market data is reported to ACER, enabling the latter to better monitor wholesale energy markets and detect potential market abuses. It aims to set out a balanced framework for market participants to provide data to ACER, easing the reporting burdens of market participants where possible. Following the feedback period and analysis of the input received, the Commission will submit the draft revised Implementing Regulation to a vote by the relevant Comitology Committee (a group of representatives of ministries and national regulatory authorities from each EU country). Subject to a positive vote, the Commission will adopt the Implementing Regulation. 

These rules are expected to be adopted and enter into force early 2026. Once entered into force, there will be a transition period regarding the applicability of most of their provisions to give market participants and other relevant actors time to adjust to the changes introduced.
