The Council of the European Union has published a corrigendum to Regulation (EU) 2022/869, which sets out guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure. The correction, dated 2 September 2026, rectifies a linguistic error in the Greek language version, specifically changing the term for 'demand response' to ensure accurate translation. This technical amendment does not alter the substance of the regulation, which aims to update the framework for planning and developing cross-border energy networks to support the EU's energy and climate goals.
The corrigendum is a legislative act issued by the Council, correcting the Greek version of Regulation (EU) 2022/869. The original regulation, adopted under the EU's energy policy competence, amends several key legislative acts, including Regulations (EC) No 715/2009, (EU) 2019/942, (EU) 2019/943 and Directives 2009/73/EC and (EU) 2019/944, while repealing the previous Regulation (EU) No 347/2013. The correction is purely linguistic and does not introduce any policy changes.
The corrigendum has negligible impact on stakeholders, as it only corrects a translation error in one language version. Greek-speaking readers and legal practitioners will benefit from improved clarity, but no substantive rights or obligations are affected. EU institutions, national authorities, energy producers, and consumers remain unaffected by this technical fix.
No further institutional action is required, as the corrigendum is a routine administrative correction. The regulation continues to apply as before, with the corrected Greek text now aligned with other language versions.
