The REMIT Implementing Acts are new European Union regulations that require energy trades, contracts and orders to be reported to the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER). They are designed to ensure that regulators have a single resource for monitoring and recording activities in the energy trading markets. It is anticipated that reporting for ‘standard’ transactions arranged by voice or executed on an electronic platform or marketplace, including all orders, contracts and trades, to ACER will start in October 2015.
EFETnet eRR is the industry’s response to comply with regulatory reporting requirements under REMIT. EFETnet, the operational service organisation of EFET (European Federation of Energy Traders), has developed and successfully launched eRR, its new electronic Regulatory Reporting Service for Europe.
Jeremy Elliott, Managing Director, Energy at Marex Spectron said: “At the end of last year, we promised our clients that we would be ready to help them meet REMIT requirements well ahead of the reporting deadline, and we have made good on that”.
“We have been at the heart of the industry’s response to REMIT and a major part in working alongside ACER, MPs’, OMPs’ and EFET in shaping the reporting standards and technical solution. We have now tested and proved that our reporting solution meets the ACER and eRR standard in full and we are ready to give access to our clients so that they can ensure they will be compliant well ahead of the deadline.”
