Report on the development of single day-ahead and intraday coupling in the Member States and the development of competition between NEMOs

Further information:

Regulation (EU) 2015/1222 establishing a guideline on capacity allocation and congestion management (CACM) entered into force on 14 August 2015. Pursuant to Article 5(3) of CACM the European Commission shall report on the development of single day-ahead and intraday coupling in the Member States, with particular emphasis on the development of competition between nominated electricity market operators (NEMOs).

On the basis of that report, the Commission shall evaluate whether the exemption to allow national legal monopolies, or the continued refusal of a Member State to allow cross-border trading by a NEMO designated in another Member State, is still justified. If necessary the Commission may consider legislative or other appropriate measures to further increase transparency and efficient functioning of single day-ahead and intraday coupling.

The particular focus of this report is on the development of competition between NEMOs, while the Commission also provides a preliminary assessment and evaluation of the governance of single day-ahead and single intraday coupling established by the CACM Regulation. A more detailed description of the Commission's assessment is presented in a Staff Working Document accompanying this report.
