Soon after its establishment, ACER updated the scope of the regional initiatives (RIs) based on the following principles:
The Regional Initiatives developed, following a mandate of the European Commission, regional Work Plans and cross-regional Roadmaps (in cooperation with ENTSOG, in gas), in order to promote the early implementation of the Network Codes and market integration. These Work Plans and Roadmaps are periodically reviewed and updated under the guidance of the Agency.
