ACER will consult on details of how to report energy derivative transactions under REMIT
What is it about?
On Thursday 16 July 2026, ACER will open a public consultation on an Annex to the Guideline on REMIT transaction reporting, covering energy derivative transactions.
What is it about?
REMIT is the EU-wide framework that detects and deters market manipulation and abuse in wholesale energy markets. The Regulation was revised in 2024 to keep pace with evolving market dynamics, and its secondary legislation was updated in April 2026 with new and revised obligations.
To reflect these regulatory developments, ACER is updating its guidance, including a new Guideline on REMIT transaction reporting (see ACER’s consultation).
Why are we consulting?
To complement the new Guideline, ACER has developed a dedicated Annex on the reporting of energy derivative transactions. The Annex:
- Clarifies the scope of reporting under REMIT and Regulation (EU) 648/2012 on over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, central counterparties and trade repositories (‘EMIR’).
- Explains how REMIT reporting exemptions apply for derivatives that are already reported under EMIR.
ACER is seeking stakeholder input to ensure the Annex is clear, practical and supports consistent data reporting across the EU.
Have your say!
The public consultation will run from 16 July to 11 September 2026.
ACER is hoping to hear from any interested parties, including but not limited to market participants, national regulatory authorities, registered reporting mechanisms (RRMs) and organised marketplaces (OMPs).
In this process, ACER will also cooperate and consult with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
