Article 7a 8.

By 30 June 2025, ACER shall, after consulting stakeholders, assess the impact of developing peak-shaving products on the Union electricity market under normal market circumstances. 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. On the basis of that assessment, the Commission may submit a legislative proposal to amend this Regulation in order to introduce peak-shaving products outside regional or Union-wide electricity price crisis situations.
