EU Energy Legislation (Consolidated)

European Union · aktualizacje: weekly · eu-energy-law

Consolidated EU energy legislation — every consolidated version of every regulation, directive and decision in force that EUR-Lex itself files under directory chapter 12 Energy and its sub-codes (general principles and programmes, including energy efficiency; coal; electricity; nuclear energy; oil and gas; other sources of energy), in English, taken from the Publications Office’s keyless CELLAR repository in the publisher’s own Formex XML. Measured on 24 August 2026: 167 consolidated versions of 88 acts — the electricity market Directive 2019/944 and Regulation 2019/943, the ACER Regulation in five versions, REMIT, the trans-European energy networks Regulation, the gas security-of-supply Regulation 2017/1938 in six, the oil stocks Directive, the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, the recast Energy Efficiency Directive 2023/1791 and the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2024/1275, the Energy Labelling and Ecodesign framework acts with some forty product-specific regulations, the electricity network codes and guidelines, the energy statistics Regulation, and six Euratom acts under nuclear energy (the safeguards Regulation, the Supply Agency statutes, Euratom loans) among them. Stated rather than hidden: the Renewable Energy Directive 2018/2001 is filed under environment only and ships in the EU environment and climate dataset; the hydrogen and decarbonised-gas package (Directive 2024/1788 and Regulation 2024/1789) and the Methane Regulation are filed here but have not been consolidated yet; the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, the Euratom Basic Safety Standards Directive and the Nuclear Safety Directive are filed under transport, health and environment. One size fact is stated: energy-label plates travel as images, and a delegated regulation whose archive exceeds 16 MB — the space-heater labelling Regulation 811/2013 in the version measured, 57 MB — is refused and counted rather than shipped. One record is one article or one annex, so a provision can be cited and retrieved on its own. Identity carries the date: a record’s key is the consolidated CELEX number, which names the act and the date its text was in force from, so the same article across successive consolidations is a series of records a buyer can diff. Each record states the act and its title, the consolidation date and layer, the ELI, whether a later consolidated version of the same act exists in the release, the Part/Title/Chapter it sits under, every amending act folded into the consolidation, and — read off the publisher’s own consolidation marks — which amending act changed that particular provision. Formulae published as images are omitted and counted. The directory codes that define the dataset ride on every record, so an act the publisher files under two of these datasets says so in both. Reuse rests on Commission Decision 2011/833/EU, and the source acknowledgement, the statement of what was changed and the notice that consolidated texts have no legal effect ride on every record. Every record carries its source URL, fetch timestamp, HTTP status and the SHA-256 of both the raw response and the extracted record. Every release ships a manifest with every file’s SHA-256 and a Merkle root over every chunk hash, which the buyer can recompute from the downloaded files. record_id and chunk_id are stable across releases. Personal data is screened out inside the pipeline before any hash is computed.
