Overview of sanction decisions

​​​​​​​REMIT prohibits market manipulation and insider trading in the wholesale energy markets, as well as imposing several obligations. Both can eventually lead to a sanction.

ACER strongly cooperates with the relevant NRAs to monitor the wholesale energy markets and effectively sanction REMIT breaches.

Note: Article 18 of REMIT establishes that the rules on penalties for breaches of Article 3 and 5 of REMIT are established by the Member States. The implementation regime is therefore different across Member States and some breaches of REMIT may be sanctioned under national provisions. Please consult the sources for the status of the proceedings and more information on the Decisions.

* This amount includes both the (i) fine and (ii) confiscated profit.​​​
