CEER Benchmarking report on removing barriers to entry for energy suppliers in EU retail energy markets
This report (C15-RMF-70-03) identifies a range of barriers to entry for energy suppliers into retail gas and electricity markets across the EU, and points to actions NRAs have taken or envisage taking for removing them. In particular, the report looks at 4 categories of barriers: barriers to market access; regulatory barriers; barriers arising from differences in processes and standards; and barriers specific to cross-border entrants. The findings of this report will provide a basis for the forthcoming CEER Guidelines of Good Practice on removing barriers to entry for energy suppliers in EU retail energy markets.
