Description

ACER fosters a fully integrated and well-functioning Inter​na​l Energy Market, where electricity and gas are traded and supplied according to the highest integrity and transparency standards, so that EU consumers can benefit from a wider choice, fair prices and greater protection.

To achieve this, we work closely with the European Institutions, National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), national governments and market players.

Over time, the Agency received additional tasks and responsibilities to better pursue the integration of the European internal energy market. With the latest provisions adopted in the Clean Energ​y Package​ (2019), the Agency has also further strengthened its responsibilities on the coordination with NRAs and cross-border cooperation.​
