REMIT 2.0 non-standard contract reports under the T+10 reporting window fell due for the first time on Tuesday 12 May 20261. REMIT is the EU Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency; the recast framework entered force on 29 April with the first 14-day reporting deadline landing on 12 May. ACER, the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, administers the framework and published the open letter setting the 12 May deadline.
The compliance paradox flagged since update #3 materialises with this deadline. Firms must comply from 29 April against consultation guidance running to 12 June that has not yet been finalised. Market participants are filing first-cycle T+10 reports while the implementing guidance against which those reports are judged remains open to formal revision. The mechanism is structural to the recast text: there is no grandfather clause, no simultaneity waiver, and no grace period in the regulation as adopted.
ACER's regulatory pressure points converge in the same week. The 6 May TurkStream-entry derogation opinions on seven national regulatory authorities and the 12 May REMIT milestone are the two ACER-driven decision points facing market participants this week. Reporting intermediaries currently serving European energy markets file under guidance they may have to amend by August; the explicit management problem is sequencing the systems build against a moving target rather than the rule content itself.
