The proposal for a revision of the Regulation establishing the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) forms part of the “Clean Energy for all Europeans Package” and is closely linked to other files of the package, in particular those related to the electricity market revision.

The purpose of the proposal is to adapt the ACER Regulation to changes to electricity market rules. It assigns ACER a number of new tasks related to the regional cooperation, the supervision of nominated electricity market operators and the assessment of generation adequacy and risk preparedness. The proposal also gives the Agency a stronger role in the development of network codes and the coordination of regional decision-making.

The increased scope of responsibilities and enhanced powers will give ACER a central a central role in the implementation of the clean energy package and in ensuring a well-functioning EU energy market.
