The analysis shows that the electricity markets are still in the process of consolidation, and that certain conditions necessary to ensure effective competition have not been fully met.
Key findings include a high degree of concentration in the wholesale and retail markets, low trading volumes in the day-ahead and intraday markets, and the need to develop storage capacity, flexibility resources, and markets for system and balancing services.
At the same time, key drivers of consolidation in the energy sector include the increase in domestic electricity generation and the development of organised markets.
In the first half of 2026, domestic generation accounted for 53 per cent of the electricity supplied to end users. The findings of the study are relevant for assessing the timetable for the transition of specific categories of consumers to the liberalised market.
In this context, ANRE proposes to change the original deadline for restricting access to regulated prices for consumer categories other than households, micro- and small commercial enterprises, from 1 January 2027 to 1 July 2027.
The proposed amendment aims to provide market participants with the necessary time to adapt and to facilitate a predictable transition under conditions that promote competition and consumer access to competitive and fair prices.
The study is available on ANRE’s official website under ‘Transparency of Decisions/Drafts Subject to Public Consultation’.
