“We do this by developing contracts and IT standards which make the sector more efficient and by partnering with policy makers to help shape future rules. We do this by: - Improving the design of European gas, electricity and associated markets for the benefit of the overall economy, society and especially end consumers. - Developing and maintaining standard wholesale supply contracts and standardising related transaction and business processes. - Facilitating debate amongst TSOs, regulators, policy makers, traders and others in the value chain about the future of the European energy market.”
