SHERIDAN, WYOMING - March 31, 2026 - Energy traders, compliance teams and market surveillance leaders in Europe face a more direct enforcement environment in 2026 as ACER sets the procedural framework for cross-border REMIT investigations and advances new reporting guidance under the revised regime. The 43rd edition of ACER's REMIT Quarterly centers on new Rules of Procedure for cross-border investigations, a practical step after EU legislators updated the REMIT framework in 2024 and gave ACER additional tasks, including the power to investigate cross-border cases. The quarterly also outlines ACER's stakeholder engagement plan for 2026, ongoing preparatory work on data reporting pending finalisation of the revised REMIT Implementing Regulation, and market surveillance updates tied to wholesale energy market integrity across the EU.
