The Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) is the agency established by the EU in order to help the different national regulators cooperate and ensure the proper functioning of the Internal Energy Market. ACER is independent from the European Commission, national governments, and private companies and involves:
- drafting guidelines for the operation of cross-border gas pipelines and electricity networks;
- reviewing the implementation of EU-wide development plans;
- deciding on cross-border issues if the national regulators cannot agree on them;
- monitoring the functioning of the internal energy market.
