Article 7a 3.

The regulatory authority concerned shall assess the proposal for a peak-shaving product referred to in paragraph 2 as regards achieving a reduction of electricity demand and the impact on wholesale electricity price during peak hours. That assessment shall take into account the need for the peak-shaving product 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 regulatory authority may request the system operator to amend its proposal.
