In this episode, Tialda Beetstra (senior associate, Netherlands), Clara Desprez (associate, UK) and Louis Breen (paralegal, UK), explore the topic of REMIT – the Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency.

Topics discussed include:

• Key prohibitions and obligations under REMIT: prohibiting insider trading and market manipulation, and requiring market participants to publicly disclose inside information and to report transaction data

• How REMIT intersects with competition law, providing a targeted tool for addressing market manipulation in energy markets

• Key changes introduced by REMIT II in 2024, including new reporting obligations and enhanced investigative powers for ACER

• Recent enforcement trends

The conversation covers establishing robust procedures for preventing market manipulation, identifying and disclosing inside information, and the importance of training.
