Why it matters
The market rules are the operational constitution of ALPEX trading: products, orders, portfolios, price limits and how OTC may interact with the exchange.
ERE has published additions (for example on DAM price limits, priority portfolios and generators at or above 5 MW). Those details are in the decisions, not invented here.
TradingDesk explanations help the desk navigate. They are not a consolidated rulebook.
How it works
Read the official Market Rules plus the ERE/ALPEX decision list. When a board decision amends a rule, the decision date matters more than a blog summary.
This Wiki will attach each important change as its own intelligence note, linking back here.
Official source now on this page: the attached PDF, approved by ERE Board Decision No. 214, 28.12.2017. Interesting topics in the file: market structure and roles (exchange, OST, DSO, BRP), the organised day-ahead and intraday market, bilateral / OTC contracts, collateral, billing, and a definitions annex. The file still cites Ligji nr. 43/2015. Later acts (Law 59/2026) and later ERE additions can change what still applies. Balancing rules are a separate document.
ERE Board Decision No. 347, 27.12.2022 approved the ALPEX market rules (definitions, trading procedure, clearing and settlement) and repealed Decision 214/28.12.2017. Read that 2022 file for the live ALPEX rulebook.

TradingDesk context
When a rule change hits gate times, products or who must trade on ALPEX, it belongs on the desk the same day. See Important changes to market rules.
