PC_2026_R_09 - Public consultation on details of how to report energy derivative transactions under REMIT

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 and resulting reporting requirements, ACER is updating its guidance, including a new Guideline on REMIT transaction reporting (see ACER’s consultation) and a review of the Transaction Reporting User Manual (TRUM).

To complement the new Guideline, ACER has developed a dedicated Annex on the reporting of energy derivative transactions (previously covered in Annex III of the TRUM). 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.

In this process, ACER will also cooperate and consult with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

Privacy statement.

This public consultation will run from 16 July to 11 September 2026. 

ACER will evaluate the feedback received and use it to finalise the Annex, expected by October 2026.
