Who does REMIT apply to?

Who does REMIT apply to?

All entities wishing to participate in wholesale energy markets must complete the relevant registration or authorisation steps defined in REMIT or in the REMIT Implementing Regulation based on their role and activities. This ensures that ACER and national regulatory authorities (NRAs) can identify who is active in the market and monitor its compliance under REMIT.

The rules for registration or authorisation are set out in the:

  • REMIT Implementing Regulation (revised in 2026), which outlines the registration requirements; and
  • REMIT Delegated Regulation (adopted in 2026), which introduces the authorisation process for Inside Information Platforms (IIPs) and for Registered Reporting Mechanisms (RRMs), that will replace registration from November 2027.

Who needs to register?

  • Market participants: Any person or company trading on EU wholesale markets, including non-EU/EEA entities.
  • Organised Market places (OMPs): Energy exchanges, brokers or platforms facilitating multiple third-party transactions.

Who needs to be authorised?

  • Inside Information Platforms (IIPs): Platforms through which market participants disclose information that could affect wholesale energy prices in real time.
  • Registered Reporting Mechanisms (RRMs): Entities authorised to report transaction and fundamental data on behalf of themselves or market participants.
