The Central Repository of Energy Market Participants (CEREMP) is ACER's centralized database for all market participants subject to REMIT regulations. Non-EU companies must register in CEREMP as part of their REMIT compliance obligations.
CEREMP (Central Repository of Energy Market Participants) is maintained by the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER). It serves as the single registration point for all wholesale energy market participants in the European Union, including non-EU companies active in EU energy markets.
All non-EU companies active in the European wholesale energy market must register in CEREMP. This includes:
To complete your CEREMP registration, you will need:
Before starting the CEREMP registration, ensure you have:
1. Company registration documents 2. Written mandate agreement with your designated representative 3. Details of your wholesale energy market activities 4. Valid contact information
Access the CEREMP registration portal through ACER's website. You will need to create an account if you don't already have one.
Fill in all required fields accurately. The information must match your official company documentation.
Enter the details of your designated EU representative. This is a mandatory field for non-EU market participants.
Carefully review all information before submitting. Once submitted, you will receive a unique market participant identification code.
The CEREMP registration process typically takes 1-2 weeks to complete, assuming all required information is provided correctly. ACER may request additional information or clarification.
Important: The deadline for non-EU companies to appoint a designated representative was 8 November 2024. If you have not yet completed your CEREMP registration, you should do so immediately.
Many registrations are delayed due to incomplete or inaccurate information. Ensure all fields are filled out correctly before submitting.
Non-EU companies cannot register in CEREMP without a designated EU representative. Contact EnergyRepServices if you need representative services.
