The European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) is an Agency of the European Union by the Third Energy Package in 2009.[1] It was established in 2010 and has its seat in Ljubljana, Slovenia.[2]
On 6 May, the administrative board designated Alberto Pototschnig as its first director. By deciding on their director and chairs, ACER took a step forward towards becoming fully operational. On 1 January 2020, Christian Pilgaard Zinglersen was appointed as ACER's second director.
The basis for the establishment of ACER is Regulation 713/2009 of the European Parliament and the Council of 13 July 2009. The regulation describes the establishment and the legal status, tasks, organisation, and financial provisions.[3]
ACER is the second intergovernmental organization headquartered in Slovenia. The first was the International Center for Promotion of Enterprises (ICPE).

The Agency:
- complements and coordinates the work of national regulatory authorities,

- gives advice on various energy-related issues to the European institutions, and

The Agency updated its REMIT guidance in May 2021.[4]
