-- The European Commission on Thursday published new rules to improve transparency and oversight in energy markets, with changes set to take effect from April 29, 2026.
One set of rules introduces a delegated regulation covering inside information platforms and reporting mechanisms, detailing how entities submitting energy market data to the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators are authorized.
It also sets out procedures for withdrawing approvals and supervising these entities, aiming to ensure a clear and fair authorization framework.
Another set of rules replaces the previous data reporting regulation, introducing updates to how energy market data is submitted to ACER to improve monitoring of wholesale markets.
The changes aim to help detect potential market abuse while creating a balanced reporting framework that reduces administrative burden for market participants where possible.
The rules will include a transition period after implementation, allowing companies and other stakeholders time to adjust to the updated reporting and compliance requirements.
