REMIT, MAD & MAR 2015


Since the financial crash, it has become increasingly clear that companies need to be more transparent with their dealings, and work closer with regulators in order to sustain a fair market. One way for this to be enforced was the introduction of the Regulation on wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency, known as REMIT. Whilst financial institutes are used to regulatory change, and thus, more prepared for it, this is not the same for energy companies and with the incoming reporting rules from REMIT, they are facing new challenges to remain compliant.

Energy companies now need to collect and report their transactions and this data is then sent off to National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs). The way the data is collected and reported though, especially that for non-standardised contracts has raised some eyebrows within the industry, but with the deadlines looming, it is now time for companies to start taking action.

The two day course will give delegates an introduction to REMIT from the perspective of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), hear about the relationship between the regulators, a chance to learn how to collect and report the data that is needed to comply with the new changes to reporting both standardised and non-standardised contracts, the latest trade surveillance tools to help them and the way REMIT will affect smaller companies.
