Regarding rules on investment incentives, the TEN-E Regulation, notably Article 13, provides for rules to ensure that appropriate incentives are granted to infrastructure projects of common interest in gas and electricity. In this context, the TEN-E Regulation sets out the following tasks:

  • each national regulatory authority to submit to ACER its methodology and criteria used to evaluate investments and the higher risks incurred by them, where available, by 31 July 2013,

  • ACER to facilitate the sharing of good practices and to make recommendations by 31 December 2013,

  • each national regulatory authority to publish its respective methodology and the criteria used to evaluate investments and the higher risks incurred by them by 31 March 2014.

    Based on the input from the abovementioned tasks, the European Commission will decide whether guidelines need to be issued.
