REMIT and its implementation
3 DAY Residential Course
3 DAY Residential Course
This FSR-ACER residential course in Florence covers the scope of the EU Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency (REMIT) and the way in which it is implemented.
Mapping the EU framework for wholesale energy market transparency and integrity
In force since 28 December 2011, REMIT is the legislation establishing a sector-specific, directly applicable framework to detect and deter market abusive behaviour in the forms of insider trading and market manipulation, including attempted market manipulation, in respect to European wholesale energy products, including electricity, gas. derivative instruments and infrastructure capacity. It pursues a three-sided aim:
REMIT implementation rests on the complex, multi-layered monitoring and enforcement system involving private actors, such as Persons Professionally Arranging Transactions (PPATs), national authorities, like the National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), and European bodies, like the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER).
This FSR-ACER Training Course explores in depth the types of behaviours which REMIT aims at detecting and deterring (i.e., insider trading and market manipulation), the main obligations and prohibitions falling on market participants and other sector stakeholders (e.g., the obligation to disclose inside information) and the way in which national and European entities (NRAs, ACER etc.) cooperate to ensure effective market surveillance.
This course builds on the unique academic knowledge and expertise and practical experience of instructors from the FSR and ACER. Furthermore, representatives from organised marketplaces and financial conduct authorities will share their experiences. Instructors will present case studies to provide course participants with examples from the real world.
This three-day residential course is held in Florence. Instructors will alternate between lectures, case studies, and group activities to enhance the discussion and improve the learning experience.

A well prepared and organized event at a beautiful venue. Beyond all expectations.
I liked the balance between lectures, Q&A sessions, case studies and breaks for discussion and networking. The case studies added a particularly valuable practical touch.
I really liked the open setting to learn with a diverse group of attendees and to be able to ask questions within that group to broaden my perspective of REMIT and its implementation.
The course was very insightful, the topics very well chosen and it was a great venue to get to know very interesting people in the same field of expertise.
I found this program, in which important stakeholders in the sector took part both as participants and trainers, very useful in terms of professional development and networking. Theoretical sessions, case studies and brainstorming blended well and provided a significant contribution in a limited time. I am grateful to FSR team and ACER for this organization.
A very useful course with the chance to interact and learn from experts in the field of REMIT.
