The Central-South electricity REM is led by the Italian Energy Regulator (AEEG) and aims to integrate Austria, France, Germany, Greece and Slovenia into a single regional electricity  market.

The Central-South electricity REM represents 1,342’,243 GWh of electricity consumption, 51% of the EU 25 electricity market.

The region’s integration is a key issue both for the EU internal market and for the recently established Energy Community. Harmonization of CBT congestion management methods, inter TSO coordination (harmonisation of operational and security standards), transparency, integration of intra-day and balancing markets and assessment of regulatory competences are the key priorities of the Central-South electricity REM.
