Following a consultation process launched in March 2025, ACER has concluded that implementing peak-shaving products in the EU electricity market under normal conditions would bring more challenges than advantages.

ACER was tasked by the electricity Market Design Regulation with assessing whether additional voluntary Power Purchase Agreement contract templates are needed to foster the transparency, efficiency and integration of the European internal energy market.

Energy regulators play an important role in ensuring efficient infrastructure. ACER and CEER have jointly developed a set of guiding principles to evaluate the performance and efficiency of European electricity smart grids.

This paper reviews the national treatment of anticipatory investments and proposes ways to facilitate the necessary grid enforcement to meet the EU’s climate and energy targets.

ACER’s Position Paper towards greater consistency of cost benefit analysis methodologies.

ACER’s policy paper on the further development of the EU electricity forward market identifies problems of this market segment, recommends solutions and thus serves as ACER’s key recommendations on how to change the Forward Capacity Allocation Regulation.
