21/09/2022 (Agence Europe) – In a statement published on Monday 19 September, the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) announced the launch of a public consultation on proposed amendments to revise the rules on the mechanism for the automatic adjustment of maximum day-ahead and intraday electricity market prices in the event of price spikes. These proposed amendments were submitted by the Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMO), at the request of ACER (see EUROPE 13015/16), with the aim of “limit[ing] the frequency of increases of the maximum clearing price in the spot markets, allowing consumers and market participants to gradually and better adapt to the scarcity situation in the market”. The consultation will close on 9 October. See ACER’s press release: https://aeur.eu/f/37i (DG)
