On 15 December 2022, the Energy Community Ministerial Council adopted Decision 2022/03/MC-EnC on the incorporation of the European Union’s electricity market acquis in the Energy Community together with Procedural Act 2022/01/MC-EnC on fostering regional energy market integration. With these acts the Contracting Parties obliged themselves to bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the new provisions by 31 December 2023.
The electricity integration package (EIP) enables full market integration of Contracting Parties into the single European market for electricity, based on the principle of reciprocity. Encompassing nine acts, the EIP aims to make the markets fit to deliver on cost-efficient clean energy transition while ensuring secure and affordable electricity supply to the citizens.
- There are four EIP acts which are part of the Clean Energy for all Europeans package:
Electricity Directive (EU) 2019/944 (recast);
Electricity Regulation (EU) 2019/943;
Risk-preparedness Regulation (EU) 2019/941 (recast);
ACER Regulation (EU) 2019/942.
- The five Network Codes and Guidelines establish detailed rules related to different market segments and system operation:
Forward Capacity Allocation Guideline (FCA);
Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management Guideline (CACM);
Electricity Balancing Guideline (EB GL);
System Operation Guideline (SOGL);
Network Code on Emergency and Restoration (ER NC).
