This CEER Status Review on National Regulatory Authorities’ (NRAs’) Cooperation in Practice sets out the key legal framework governing cooperation among NRAs in the relevant EU legislation. It also provides examples of how NRA cooperation has worked in practice, on the basis of both the formal, legally foreseen, forms of cooperation (for example within the framework of the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER)), and also informal means of cooperation.

This document presents a CEER public report on the organisational framework within which Europe’s energy regulators operate. It shines a light on NRAs’ tasks and powers, resources, independence, and accountability and transparency. In this, it looks both at rules that are imposed on regulators (e.g. by law) and at arrangements and organisational decisions NRAs have taken themselves.

Ref: C16-DS-26-04, 21 September 2016
In this paper, CEER explores how the relationship and regulatory arrangements between DSOs and TSOs may need to evolve to ensure that efficient system solutions (either conventional or new) can be deployed to accommodate the needs of a sustainable energy system. The paper puts forward specific principles which CEER believes should set the trajectory of the future DSO-TSO relationship and related regulatory arrangements in the areas of governance arrangements, network planning and system operation.

CEER Status Reviews provide an overview of the status of implementation of the DSO unbundling provisions set out in the EU's "3rd Energy Package". Under this Package the energy networks are subject to unbundling requirements, which oblige Member States to ensure appropriate separation of networks from generation/supply activities, in order to protect the energy consumer.

This report provides a general overview of the regulatory regimes, the required efficiency developments and analyses the overall determination of capital costs in EU Member States and Norway. A major focus is placed on the calculation of an adequate rate of return, the determination of the regulatory asset base (RAB) and the depreciation of assets in the different regulatory regimes. Importantly, individual parameters presented in this study have to be interpreted in the context of a whole country-specific regulatory regime. The data collection, covering investments in 2015, took place in summer 2015.
