25.09.2025 – ACER adopted new REMIT fees for 2025
On 8 September 2025, the European Commission adopted Decision (EU) 2025/1771, which repeals the previous Decision (EU) 2020/2152 and establishes a new fee scheme to finance the activities of ACER under the REMIT Regulation (EU) No 1227/2011.
Background
ACER is responsible for monitoring Europe’s energy and trading markets. Due to new obligations – such as reporting on electricity, gas and hydrogen storage, capacity mechanisms, balancing services and high-frequency trading – ACER faces higher operating costs, which are now shared across market participants.
Fee Structure
The financing is collected via Registered Reporting Mechanisms (RRMs):
-
The total fee for 2025 amounts to EUR 7.6 million.
-
This amount is distributed proportionally among all RRMs, based on the number of market participants (MPs) for whom transaction records were submitted between 1 January and 30 June 2025.
-
The rate per market participant is EUR 467.17.
-
ACER has provided RRMs with detailed lists of included MPs to enable verification of the calculation.
Objective
-
Increase transparency and ensure fair cost allocation.
-
Guarantee sustainable funding of REMIT-related activities, reducing reliance on the EU budget.
