The Energy
Community Regulatory Board (ECRB) has published its Market Monitoring Report on
gas and electricity wholesale and retail markets covering the Energy Community
Contracting Parties and Georgia in 2014. This is the first report of its kind,
mirroring the Annual Market Monitoring Report of the Agency for Cooperation of
Energy Regulators (ACER). The retail market chapters provide a status review of
the analyzed retail markets, namely demand data, the supply market structure,
switching behaviour of end-customers as well as end-user prices and their
regulation. The wholesale market part provides an overview of wholesale market
characteristics and prices, market concentration, transmission tariffs and
network access regimes. The report also makes recommendations for potential
improvements.
The ECRB also
published a report on the transparency of gas transmission system operators in
those Energy Community Contracting Parties with an operational gas market –
Bosnia and Herzegovina, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Serbia
and Ukraine. The status report assesses compliance against the transparency
requirements of the Third Energy Package as at March 2016. The report is a
deliverable under ACER’s Gas Regional Initiative South South East (GRI SSE)
2015-2018 work programme and the data therein will be published on ENTSOG’s transparency
platform.
