Document reveals Commission’s plan for redesigning power market

Next steps

The leaked draft communication, entitled ’Launching the public consultation process on a new energy market design‘, is set to be published in its final form on 15 July as part of the energy union’s ’summer package‘. It will be available for comment afterwards. The Commission would then prepare changes to almost all areas of legislation and regulation relevant to the electricity market. The communication lists the electricity directive and regulation, the ACER regulation, the infrastructure regulation, the electricity security of supply directive, the energy efficiency directive and the renewables directive. The network codes of the electricity grid could also be affected.
