Overview of the internal energy market design legislation

This briefing is one in a series of 'Implementation Appraisals' on the operation of existing EU legislation in practice. Each such briefing focuses on a specific EU law which is likely to be amended or reviewed, as foreseen in the European Commission's Annual Work Programme.

Implementation Appraisals aim to provide a succinct overview of material publicly available on the implementation, application and effectiveness of an EU law to date – drawing on available input from the EU institutions and external organisations. They are provided to assist parliamentary committees in their consideration of the new proposals, once tabled.Main Instruments evaluated:
+ Directive 2009/72 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity
+ Regulation 714/2009 on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges in electricity
+ Regulation 713/2009 establishing an Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators
+ Directive 2005/89 on security of electricity supply

Timeline for new amending legislation: Proposals amending the legislation related to the internal energy market, ACER and the security of electricity supply were published on 30 November 2016.
