EnC Secretariat launched today a public consultation on draft Policy Guidelines on the Promotion of Organised Electricity Markets in the Contracting Parties. The Guidelines aim to facilitate the establishment of organised electricity market structures in the Contracting Parties by providing guidance on the harmonised development of the institutions, processes and compatible rules needed. The focus is on specific measures that are to be implemented in the Contracting Parties’ national legal and regulatory frameworks in order to allow for competitive spot markets at national level and, consequently, the coupling of markets across borders. The establishment of organised markets is also an essential prerequisite for the implementation of the EU Regulation on Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management in the Energy Community Contracting Parties.
This public consultation seeks stakeholder views on the draft Policy Guidelines. All interested stakeholders are encouraged to respond to the public consultation by completing the online questionnaire (link below). The consultation will run until 11 September 2015.
The draft Guidelines were prepared by an ad-hoc working group of industry experts and academia supported by the Energy Community Secretariat. The results of this public consultation will be taken into consideration by the ad-hoc working group and the Secretariat in the drafting of the final Policy Guidelines.
