ACER is gathering views and information regarding the proposal for the amendment of the Methodology for pricing balancing energy and cross-border capacity used for the exchange of balancing energy or operating the imbalance netting process
Mr Cristian Zinglersen, Director of the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), was invited as a guest speaker today to update the Eurogroup on recent energy price developments.
ACER has received on 26 August 2021 all transmission system operators’ proposal to amend the common methodology for harmonising the pricing balancing energy and cross-border capacity across the European electricity markets.
ACER publishes a methodological study to measure barriers to efficient price formation and easy market entry and participation for new and small players in the EU electricity wholesale markets.
The dataset provides economic parameters for new electricity resources, including estimated capital and operational costs for different power generation technologies and demand-side flexibility.
On 21 July 2026, ACER received a proposal from all nominated electricity market operators to amend the methodology for the price coupling, continuous trading matching and intraday auction algorithms. ACER will decide by 21 January 2027.
