CEER 2017 Handbook for National Energy Regulators – How to assess retail market functioning

This CEER Handbook has been developed as a practical guide for national regulatory authorities in the process of evaluating the performance of their national retail energy markets. By providing a clear description and purpose of each metric as well as information on how to quantify the metric and the source of data, the Handbook facilitates energy regulators’ assessment of their retail markets. In addition, the pilots performed by energy regulators, which are released along with the Handbook, will give energy regulators an insight and examples into the practical usability of the metrics. CEER invites national energy regulatory authorities to use this Handbook and the accompanying pilots in order to self-assess their national retail markets.
