Wholesale power market surveillance
What REMIT and MAR ask of a surveillance function in European power markets, how each TradingSurv screen gathers market evidence for a review, and what regulators have decided so far.

Where this fits
Your trade surveillance platform raises the alert. The question that follows is whether the market explains it: what was published, what cleared, what the fundamentals would have produced, and how far apart those were in the delivery period under review. These guides explain how TradingSurv assembles that evidence, the regulation it is read against, and the limits of every number.
Every finding is an indicator for a human to review, never a determination of abuse. Reconstructed findings carry their model error, and public market data does not identify trading firms.
The guides
- REMIT surveillance for wholesale power marketsHow TradingSurv supports REMIT Article 3 and 5 monitoring: which screen maps to which prohibition, what a finding claims, and what it deliberately does not.
- MAR surveillance where power trading meets financial instrumentsWhere the Market Abuse Regulation applies alongside REMIT for power derivatives, and how TradingSurv's screens produce evidence a compliance analyst can act on.
- Day-ahead auction surveillance and merit-order reconstructionEvery delivery hour re-cleared against a merit order rebuilt from published fundamentals, with walk-forward calibration and reported model error.
- Balancing market surveillance from published offersHow each balancing period's offers are screened against its own trailing band in Belgium and Great Britain, and what each zone's data lets a finding claim.
- Sizing a REMIT disclosure against what the market actually tradedHow cleared volume is measured against each period's market volume, which denominator answered and which way it biases the share. A sizing aid, not a verdict.
- Market abuse in energy markets: REMIT typologies explainedWithholding, wash trades, spoofing, capacity hoarding, insider trading and more: ACER's definitions of each and the enforcement decisions that applied them.
- REMIT compliance guide: obligations, REMIT II and penaltiesThe REMIT obligations a compliance team works to: inside information, suspicious transaction reports, what REMIT II changed in 2024 and the fines now possible.
- REMIT enforcement cases: every published decisionEvery published REMIT enforcement decision, from ACER's register and from regulators it does not track, with sources and a write-up of each case.
How the screens are calculated
The surveillance guides make the argument; the learning section explains each screen, control and column in the console. Read how merit-order reconstruction screens a delivery hour or how balancing offers are screened period by period, and the data sources every finding is built from.
