• EEMG Considerations regarding the European Commission’s proposals on Clean Energy for all European

  
  

  The European Energy Mediators Group (EEMG) supports the aims and goals of the “Clean energy for all Europeans “Package. The EEMG shares the view on putting innovation, energy efficiency and renewable energies first. We also believe that it is essential to create a liberalized, sustainable and secure energy market in Europe.

• BEUC POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS " DO'S AND DON'TS FOR SMART, FLEXIBLE ELECTRICITY OFFERS - March 2017

  
  

  This paper focuses on household consumers. In this respect, it is important to bear in mind that households’ electricity use is driven by their daily routine and that their ability to take up new services and offers depends on their financial means.

• SECOND CONSUMER STUDY ON MARKET STUDY IN THE FUNCTIONING OF THE RETAIL ELECTRICITY MARKETS - EUROPEAN COMMISSION - FEBRUARY 2017

  
  

  The objectives of the current study are to investigate if a well-functioning electricity market is in place for consumers in the EU and assess how the performance of retail electricity markets for consumers has developed since the first market study. The study also examines the extent to which consumers are able to make informed and empowered choices and what motivates their behaviour in the electricity market.

• EURELECTRIC POSITION PAPER - Dynamic pricing in electricity supply - FEBRUARY 2017

  
  

  Electricity supply with dynamic pricing is a field of innovation in retail markets which is made possible by the development of efficient wholesale markets and the availability of smart meter data. The Clean Energy Package defines ‘dynamic electricity price contract’ as an electricity supply contract between a supplier and a final customer that reflects the price at the spot market or at the day ahead market at intervals at least equal to the market settlement frequency.

  
  

  Eurelectric recommends “No customer should be obliged to take up a dynamic pricing offer. Customers should be informed of the level of risk linked to price volatility when opting for highly dynamic pricing.”

• EURELECTRIC SMART GRID CYBER SECURITY REPORT - DECEMBER 2016

  
  

  Customers’ need for electricity is growing as the number of devices connected to the electricity network increases rapidly. The electricity sector is at the beginning of a new era for cyber security. The energy sector is also going through a major digital transformation, with an increase of complexity within its technological environment and an escalation of interconnected equipment.

• ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION NETWORK TARIFFS - CEER GUIDELINES OF GOOD PRACTICE – 23/01/2017

  
  

  The fundamental changes in how distribution networks are used have been discussed elsewhere. Developments include the integration of large amounts of variable renewable generation, the increase in self-generation and in the potential of smart meters, demand side flexibility and storage. The associated challenges and opportunities for distribution tariff design present a critical policy and regulatory challenge.

• CEER Report Review of Current and Future Data Management Models - DECEMBER 2016

  
  

  The management and exchange of customer and metering data is key to wellfunctioning retail energy markets. The roll-out of smart metering will dramatically increase the amounts and granularity of metering data generated by consumers. Smart meters should provide consumers with access to consumption data through an interoperable interface. It is important that the solutions in the data management model for retrieving, processing, protecting and distributing data are sufficient to enable the best possible use of smart metering data. 
  
  
  

• Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on common rules for the internal market in electricity

  
  

  The present electricity market design initiative thus aims to adapt the current market rules to new market realities, by allowing electricity to move freely to where it is most needed when it is most needed via undistorted price signals, whilst empowering consumers, reaping maximum benefits for society from cross-border competition and providing the right signals and incentives to drive the necessary investments to decarbonise our energy system.

• CEER Position Paper on early termination fees - May 2016

  
  

  The focus of this CEER paper is on ‘termination fees’, namely general costs that are charged to customers at the end of the contract and on ‘early termination fees’, namely specific costs that are charged to customers who unilaterally end an ongoing contract with an energy supplier before the contract’s end date.
