Updated Guidance on Balance Responsible Parties Obligations Under REMIT Regulation
Summary
Denmark's Forsyningstilsynet has updated its 2023 guidance on balance responsible parties' obligations under REMIT Regulation, reflecting the expansion of persons subject to Article 15 through a new paragraph 2 introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/1106. The update adds PPETs (persons who physically conduct transactions) to the previously covered PPATs (persons who plan transactions), bringing balance responsible parties who transact on balance capacity markets within scope for the first time. Affected parties must establish monitoring and suspicious transaction reporting systems and report to both ACER and Forsyningstilsynet within four weeks.
Balance responsible parties that transact on balance capacity markets — whether for their own account or on behalf of underlying customers — are now explicitly in scope as PPETs under Article 15(2) of REMIT. Firms that may qualify should review their existing monitoring and reporting arrangements against the requirements described in this guidance, including the four-week reporting window to both ACER and Forsyningstilsynet.

What changed
Forsyningstilsynet's 2026 update to its 2023 guidance reflects the expansion of REMIT Regulation obligations through the addition of Article 15(2), which now covers PPETs (persons who physically conduct transactions with wholesale energy products), in addition to the previously covered PPATs (persons who plan transactions). The guidance confirms that balance responsible parties transacting on balance capacity markets — whether on their own behalf or on behalf of underlying customers — are to be regarded as PPETs and are therefore subject to Article 15(2) obligations. The authority also clarifies that affected balance responsible parties bear independent responsibility for compliance.
Energy market participants active on Danish balance capacity markets should review the updated guidance to determine whether they qualify as PPETs under the new framework. Where they do, they are required to establish and maintain arrangements, systems, and procedures enabling monitoring and identification of suspicious transactions, protect monitoring functions from conflicts of interest, and report suspicious transactions to ACER and Forsyningstilsynet promptly and no later than four weeks.

Forsyningstilsynet har opdateret sin vejledning fra 2023 om balanceansvarlige aktørers forpligtelser efter REMIT-forordningen
14-04-2026 Nyhed El Baggrunden for opdateringer er ændringen af Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) nr. 1227/2011 af 25. oktober 2011 om integritet og gennemsigtighed på engrosenergimarkederne (herefter REMIT-forordningen) ved Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) 2024/1106 af 11. april 2024.
Før ændringen af REMIT-forordningen var det alene personer, der som led i deres erhverv planlagde transaktioner, såkaldte ”PPATs”, der var underlagt forpligtelser efter artikel 15 i REMIT-forordningen. Forsyningstilsynet offentliggjorde i den forbindelse den 16. februar 2023 en vejledning, der havde til formål at afklare, om balanceansvarlige aktører kunne betegnes som markedsdeltagere og/eller PPATs. Forsyningstilsynet fandt, at balanceansvarlige aktører ikke var PPATs, men at de var markedsdeltagere, når de deltog i balancekapacitetsmarkeder, selvom den tilbudte kapacitet stammede fra underliggende kunder.
Ved den seneste ændring af REMIT-forordningen blev kredsen af personer med forpligtelser efter artikel 15 ved tilføjelsen af et nyt stk. 2 udvidet til også at omfatte visse personer, der som led i deres erhverv gennemfører transaktioner med engrosenergiprodukter, såkaldte ”PPETs”).
I vejledningen vurderer Forsyningstilsynet, om balanceansvarlige aktører kan betegnes som PPETs, samt hvornår balanceansvarlige aktører er underlagt forpligtelser efter REMIT-forordningens artikel 15.
Forsyningstilsynet vurderer, at balanceansvarlige aktører skal anses for at være PPETs efter REMIT-forordningen, når de gennemfører transaktioner på balancekapacitetsmarkeder på egne eller underliggende kunders vegne. Forsyningstilsynet finder i den forbindelse, at balanceansvarlige aktører som udgangspunkt er omfattet af artikel 15, stk. 2 i REMIT-forordningen, men at dette altid beror på en konkret vurdering.
Forsyningstilsynet vurderer endvidere, at balanceansvarlige aktører, der er omfattet af artikel 15, stk. 2, i REMIT-forordningen, er forpligtede til at etablere og opretholde ordninger, systemer og procedurer, som muliggør overvågning og identifikation af mistænkelige transaktioner, til at beskytte overvågningsfunktionen mod interessekonflikter, og til straks og senest inden fire uger at indberette sådanne forhold til ACER og Forsyningstilsynet. Forsyningstilsynet vurderer på denne baggrund, at balanceansvarlige aktører bærer et selvstændigt ansvar for at opfylde de særlige overvågnings- og indberetningsforpligtelser, når de er PPETs med forpligtelser efter artikel 15, stk. 2.
