ACER launches new tool to improve transparency of European electricity network tariffs

In brief

ACER has launched the first edition of its electricity network tariff repository, a centralised platform bringing together tariff information from EU Member States. The tool is intended to improve transparency and comparability around network charges, which form an important part of electricity bills and help recover the costs of investing in, maintaining and operating power grids. ACER notes that this is increasingly important as Europe expands electrification, renewable energy and grid investment.

The repository is designed for regulators, policymakers, network operators, researchers, analysts, and consumer and industry organisations. It can help users compare whether network charges in different countries are fixed, capacity-based or consumption-based, and support reviews of national tariff methodologies. ACER says the tool will be updated progressively with more data, tariff practices and studies, and will feed into future analytical work, including its next report on electricity network tariff practices expected in 2027.
