III.7.10.

There has been an outage of a gas-fired power plant. What is the market participant’s obligation? 

Answer: According to Article 4 of REMIT it is the market participant‘s obligation to publish inside information. The market participant should make an assessment on price sensitivity for either market (electricity and gas). If the outage of the gas-fired power plant is considered inside information relevant for the electricity market and the gas market, the information should be published in both markets, i.e. as an outage of an electricity production unit and as an outage of a gas consumption unit. ACER’s Guidance (Chapter 7.2.2) and MoP on data reporting (ANNEX VII) include data fields for inside information reporting which may help the market participants decide which information should be published as part of an Urgent Market Message.
