Europex response to the public consultation on ACER decision on harmonised allocation rules for long-term electricity transmission rights
Please see our response to selected questions attached.
Please see our response to selected questions attached.
We urge the co-legislators to take the necessary time to fully understand the complexity of this file and seek the viewpoints of stakeholder who have worked closely with ACER to tailor REMIT into the tool it is today.
We urge lawmakers to carefully assess these proposals to ensure that the EMD package is beneficial to the functioning of short-term markets, the liquidity of long-term markets and the deployment of flexibility assets.
We do not believe that the amendments adopted by ECON in relation to commodities and commodity derivatives will address volatility nor will they reduce energy prices, but instead further impede the development of commodity markets in the EU.
Europex welcomes this opportunity to comment on the future design of the European electricity market. Please see our response to selected questions.
Europex’s strong conviction is that risk transfer mechanisms are most needed during periods of heightened uncertainty and volatility, as it is at such times that risks in the underlying commodity and financial markets are most acute.
Please find our detailed position paper attached:
We remain critical of how this draft policy paper addresses and assesses the overall functioning of the electricity forward market and the proposals put forth to approach the identified shortcomings.
Imposing restrictions on who may or may not participate in the EU ETS would significantly weaken the market, putting at risk the EU’s ability to meet its climate goals in a cost-efficient manner.
