In this section you'll find frequently asked questions regarding our REMIT II and BATE representation services, pricing, and how to select the right plan for your organisation. Scroll down for Swiss BATE-specific questions.
REMITREP Services B.V. is a service provider for non-EU energy traders needing to comply with the EU REMIT II Regulation, and for non-Swiss energy traders needing to comply with Switzerland's new BATE law. We assist clients in designating a representative in the relevant jurisdiction an EU Member State for REMIT (under Article 9) or Switzerland for BATE (under Article 6) and ensure compliance with registration requirements.
REMITREP offers three plans across both regulatory regimes:
REMIT Basic Plan (€4,000/yr): Initial registration assistance, acting as your representative for managing official NRA correspondence, with a cap of 12 communications per year.
REMIT Premium Plan (€8,000/yr): Includes everything in the Basic Plan, plus regulatory update notifications, guidance on recommended actions, and a cap of 24 communications per year.
Swiss BATE Representation: Free of charge in 2027 for existing REMITREP, CorreggioNET, and ETR Advisory clients. New clients pay a one-time KYC onboarding fee of CHF 500. From 2028 onwards, a CHF 2,500 annual fee applies, with discounts available for existing REMITREP, Correggio, and ETR Advisory clients.
The Premium Service is ideal for clients who require in-depth regulatory insights, extended correspondence handling, and strategic advisory services. It is designed for businesses that face complex regulatory environments and need tailored strategic responses.
The choice depends on which regime applies to you and how much support you need:
If you trade in EU wholesale energy markets from a non-EU base, choose the REMIT Basic Plan for essential representation, or the REMIT Premium Plan if you need regulatory update notifications, guidance on recommended actions, and expanded correspondence handling.
If you trade in Swiss wholesale energy markets from outside Switzerland, choose our Swiss BATE Representation.
If you trade in both EU and Swiss markets, you'll need both, and we can coordinate them under a single mandate for simplicity.
Yes, all our REMIT and BATE services can be customized to meet your specific requirements. Whether you need additional advisory services, specialized regulatory interpretations, different communication frequencies, or cross-regime coordination, we can tailor our offerings to provide optimal support. Additional fees may apply based on the customization's scope and complexity.

We are ready to help you navigate your compliance requirements effectively.
BATE stands for the Federal Act on Supervision and Transparency in Wholesale Energy Markets (Bundesgesetz über die Aufsicht und Transparenz in den Energiegrosshandelsmärkten). It is Switzerland's equivalent of the EU's REMIT regulation and introduces registration, reporting, and market conduct obligations for energy traders active in Swiss power and gas markets.
BATE will enter into force on 1 January 2027. The Federal Act was published on 21 March 2025, and the referendum window closed on 10 July 2025 without challenge. The implementing ordinance (VATE) public consultation was carried out in Q1 2026, with a second authorities consultation in Q3 2026.
Any natural or legal person not resident or established in Switzerland who concludes transactions or places trading orders in Swiss wholesale energy products must designate a local representative under Article 6 of BATE. This includes traders, intermediaries (PPAETs), and grid operators.
BATE closely mirrors REMIT II but with key differences: hydrogen and LNG are not explicitly enumerated as wholesale energy products, the definitions are generally less detailed, and certain obligations (such as the requirement under Article 15 of REMIT II for systems to detect suspicious activity) are not directly replicated. The local representative requirement is set out in Article 6 of BATE, compared to Article 9 of REMIT II.
No, registration with ACER under REMIT does not satisfy BATE. However, if you are already registered with ACER, you only need to provide ElCom with the information already submitted under EU rules, including your ACER identifier, which simplifies the Swiss registration process.
BATE representation pricing is structured as a launch offer:
2027 (first year): Free of charge for existing REMITREP, CorreggioNET, and ETR Advisory clients. For new clients, a one-time KYC onboarding fee of CHF 500 applies.
From 2028 onwards: An annual fee of CHF 2,500 applies to all new clients. Existing REMITREP, Correggio, and ETR Advisory clients qualify for discounts.
