Public consultation on Bidding Zone Review

Overview

In accordance with the ACER decision 29/2020 of 24 November 2020 on the methodology and assumptions that are to be used in the Bidding Zone Review process and for the alternative bidding zone configurations to be considered (BZR Methodology), Transmission System Operators ("TSOs") of all Bidding Zone Review Regions shall jointly hold a public consultation to gather stakeholder feedback on the following subjects:

• Market liquidity and transaction costs
• Transition costs
• Measures to mitigate negative impacts
• Practical implementation considerations

The questions in this public consultation relate to the current version of the two documents that are consulted upon: the report on Liquidity and Transaction costs (version for public consultation, 17 July 2024) and the report on Transition costs (version for public consultation, 6 December 2023). 

The responses to this Public Consultation shall be used to finalise both reports, for the assessment on the acceptability of alternative BZ configurations and as an input for TSOs to identify practical considerations when deciding on a BZ configuration change. 

Why your views matter

We are seeking input from stakeholders and market participants on transition costs, transaction costs and their feedback on measures to mitigate negative impacts and practical implementation considerations.
