Roadmap on regional market integration

On 5 July 2005, CRE, CREG and DTe published a jointly prepared consultation document concerning regional market integration between the wholesale electricity markets of Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The three regulators have invited relevant market parties to contribute on this important issue, and help define a common approach, or roadmap, for the progressive regional integration of the three markets.

The objective of regional market integration is maximum availability of cross-border capacity and efficient cross-border trade, to the benefit of Belgian, Dutch and French consumers. The common approach of CRE, CREG and DTe towards regional market integration is laid down in this document. This roadmap details the different steps for the implementation of the regional market integration in the three countries.
