Article 7a 7.

By six months after the end of a regional or Union-wide electricity price crisis as referred to in paragraph 1, ACER shall, after consulting stakeholders, assess the impact of using peak-shaving products on the Union electricity market. That assessment shall take into account the need for peak-shaving products not to unduly distort the functioning of the electricity markets, and not to cause a redirection of demand response services towards peak-shaving products. ACER may issue recommendations that regulatory authorities shall take into account in their assessment pursuant to paragraph 3.
