CERRE at ACER Stakeholder Workshop

On Thursday 10 February 2022, the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) hosts a Stakeholder Workshop on the ACER Assessment on Electricity Market Design.

CERRE Academic Co-Director, Michael Pollitt, will join the panel ‘Electricity Volatility, Suppliers and Consumers‘ to discuss and address key topics including:

• Which requirements should apply to suppliers, regarding promotion of hedging, collateral, and what information consumers should have to better protect them from price volatility? Should such requirements be harmonised at EU level, or defined locally?
• Which market-based instruments could help shield consumers from volatility (especially vulnerable consumers) in such a way that it does not affect overall market efficiency?
• In what way will the evolution of the retail market and its regulation have implications for the design of wholesale markets and how to ensure this is accommodated in the improvements to wholesale market design?
