In accordance with Article 3 of Directive 2024/1711[1], Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this directive by 17 January 2025.
However, by way of derogation, the transposition deadline for Article 2, points (2) and (5), which concerns the free choice of supplier and the right to energy sharing, is extended to 17 July 2026.
The Commission is currently assessing the transposition measures notified by Member States.
To support Member States in transposing the new provisions of the Electricity Market Design (EMD) and ensuring effective implementation, the Commission is holding dedicated meetings with national authorities. In December 2024, it provided Member States with a guidance notice and an explanatory document template for the transposition of Directive (EU) 2024/1711.
Additionally, the Commissioner for Energy and Housing is tasked to issue Citizen Energy Package to increase citizens’ participation in the energy transition and strengthen the social dimension of the Energy Union.
If the Commission determines that a Member State has failed to transpose legislation within the legal deadlines, it may initiate infringement proceedings under Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
The Commission publishes regular updates on its infringement actions.
