Frequently Asked Questions
What is REMIT?
REMIT stands for the Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency. It is a regulation adopted in 2011 by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, and it has direct legal effect in all EU Member States.
The primary objective of REMIT is to enhance transparency and ensure the integrity and stability of European energy markets. In particular, it seeks to prevent insider trading and market manipulation within wholesale energy trading.
The EU agency Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) is responsible for monitoring and overseeing energy markets to ensure compliance with REMIT.
Who needs to report under REMIT?
In general, all market participants active in the European wholesale energy market are subject to reporting obligations under Article 8(1) of REMIT. In addition, fundamental data relating to facilities for the generation, storage, and transmission of electricity and gas must be reported in accordance with Article 8(5).
Market participants are also required to:
- Publish inside information (Article 4), and
- Report detected suspicious incidents or potential breaches.
A detailed assessment of whether a specific entity is subject to reporting obligations should be discussed with an internal or external legal advisor, or with Corporate Compliance. PONTON can help you understand the general requirements but we would always suggest to get final legal advice regarding reporting obligations under REMIT.
Further details can be found in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1348/2014: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32014R1348
In which format do I need to report to ACER?
The required reporting format depends on the type of document or transaction being reported under REMIT. Different reporting processes require different formats, for example:
- Standard contracts must be reported under REMIT Table 1 ACER XML.
- Non-standard contracts must be reported under REMIT Table 2 ACER XML.
- Executions for non-standards are generally required to be submitted in REMIT Table 1 ACER XML format.
The detailed format specifications, including the complete list of required data fields, are set out in the Transaction Reporting User Manual (TRUM) published by Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER).
The TRUM also provides guidance and practical examples clarifying when a trade must be reported under Table 1 and when it falls under Table 2.
The TRUM is available at: https://www.acer.europa.eu/transaction-reporting-user-manual-trum
How can the REMIT Relax Excel Converter support me?
The REMIT Relax (PONTON R/R) Excel Converter supports you in generating reporting documents that are fully schema-valid and compliant with REMIT reporting requirements.
You can simply enter or copy your data into a predefined Excel template and upload the file to the platform. The Excel templates do not contain any macros; all validation and processing are performed securely within the service.
In addition to Excel uploads, the platform provides an online editor. This allows you, for example, to copy an existing transaction and reuse it easily for a new trade, reducing manual effort and the risk of errors.
Once the document has been successfully processed, you can download the generated XML file and submit it to your Registered Reporting Mechanism (RRM). PONTON R/R can generate Unique Transaction Identifiers (UTIs) and write them back into the Excel file for your records. You may also download the updated Excel file.
