ACER referral date confirmed for FCR minimum activation-period decision

No material change versus the prior event state. The source again confirms that national regulatory authorities referred the FCR minimum activation-period matter to ACER on 7 July 2026 and that ACER intends to decide within six months; it provides neither an activation-period value nor an exact decision date.

The pending ACER decision concerns a core FCR availability requirement and could determine how long reserve providers must sustain activation.

The case remains in regulatory review. The six-month timing supports retaining an imprecise decision milestone, but does not establish a calendar deadline or a final change to the FCR product specification.
