What is moving in REMIT enforcement

The enforcement register holds decisions, and a decision is a finished thing: an authority found conduct, imposed a penalty and published it. Related developments can fall short of an enforcement decision. An appeal is referred, a reporting obligation gains an implementing regulation, a regulator consults on what counts as a derivative transaction, a court finds part of a sanction procedure unconstitutional without annulling the sanction. None of those is a decision, and putting any of them in a register of decisions would make the register say something untrue.

Only steps with a concrete connection to REMIT or closely related wholesale-market conduct belong here. General tariffs, metering, supply-security duties and unrelated compliance news are outside this table. The steps share one review date. Every row rests on the publishing body’s own document, read in full, the same rule the case write-ups follow. A step reported only by a law firm’s newsletter or the trade press is a lead, and a lead is not a row. Where a row names a participant whose case is not finished, it says what the step was and nothing about what the participant did.

Reviewed row by row on 11 November 2026. A row leaves this table when it resolves: into a decision, which gets a register row and, where the decision says what the conduct was, a write-up; or into nothing, when a proposal is dropped or a consultation closes without a rule.

The table above is what has happened outside the register. This one is inside it: 32 decisions whose own status says they are not settled, computed from the register rather than copied into it, so the day a status moves there it moves here. “Under appeal” and “appealed” mean someone has challenged the decision; “pending sanction” means an authority has proposed a penalty it has not imposed.

A caution that matters more the older the row is: these statuses are ACER’s as transcribed on 14 October 2026, and ACER updates its table when a national authority tells it to. A 2020 decision still reading “under appeal” may have been decided years ago without the register being told. Follow the source before relying on one. Decisions whose status is only “appeal possible” are not listed: that says a window was open, not that anyone used it.

The step column takes one of seven values. They are not degrees of seriousness; they say what kind of document the row rests on, because that is what decides how much weight it carries.

Court step

A referral, a procedural ruling or a judgment that changes a sanction's standing without replacing it. The decision stays in the register; the step says what has happened to it since.

Proposal

A fine an authority has proposed but not imposed, and has published itself. Where ACER's register already carries one, it is not repeated as a step: it appears in the table of decisions that are not finished, computed from the register's own status.

Investigation

An investigation the authority has announced itself. Nothing is attributed to a participant beyond the fact that an investigation was opened.

Consultation

A consultation directly concerning REMIT or closely related wholesale-market conduct, reporting or disclosure duties, with its opening and closing dates.

Guidance

Guidance on REMIT, equivalent wholesale-market abuse rules or closely related reporting and disclosure controls. General energy-regulation guidance is outside this table.

Rule change

Secondary legislation made or entering into force. What REMIT II itself changed is on the REMIT II guide; this is what came after it.

Not a REMIT decision

A closely related wholesale energy market conduct sanction under a legal basis that does not apply REMIT, such as abuse of ARENH allocations for resale. General licence, tariff and fee cases stay out.

It is not a news feed. A feed has to be fed, including in the weeks when European regulators publish nothing, and a page carrying filler is a page a reader learns to skip. There is no RSS and no per-item page: one table, one date, a row deleted when it stops being true. If the newest row here is old, that is the honest state of European enforcement that month, not a broken pipeline.

It is also not commentary. Each row restates what the body published and links it. Nothing here says what a participant did beyond what the document says, and nothing says what a TradingSurv screen would have shown.
