Phased implementation of CSIRE and changes for virtual prosumers
The draft act introduces a schedule for the phased accession of market participants to the Central Energy Market Information System (CSIRE), setting the final deadline for October 19, 2026. The amendment adjusts regulations regarding virtual and collective prosumers to the new schedule, differentiating dates depending on the network operators' area of operation. The application dates for reserve sale regulations and the 24-hour supplier switching procedure have also been changed, making them dependent on a given entity's entry into the CSIRE system.
Key points
Phased CSIRE implementation: Smaller distribution system operators (under 100k consumption points) can choose their entry date (July 2025, March 2026, July 2026), with a final deadline for all set for October 19, 2026.
Virtual prosumer: Regulations for virtual prosumers operating within a single operator's area will enter into force in July 2025, while those operating across different operators will start in October 2026.
Settlement method: Rules for calculating the amount of energy introduced by virtual and collective prosumers, including total balancing and data transmission by OIRE, have been clarified.
Reserve sale: The application of new regulations regarding the reserve sale of electricity has been suspended until a given operator joins CSIRE.
Supplier switching: The option to switch energy suppliers within 24 hours will be available to consumers once their serving operator joins CSIRE.
