Introduction of a market location for an energy trader
Project duration: 1 year, 8 months
Brief description
Introduction of the new identifier market location ID (MaLo ID) as an industry-wide benchmark for defined business processes in the electronic data exchange of the German energy market for the commodity types electricity and gas in the system landscape of an energy trader.
Supplement
The specifications of the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) from Decembre 20, 2016 in order to adapt the requirements for electronic market communication to the requirements of the German Act on the Digitisation of Energy Turnaround / Interim Model (BK6-16-200 and BK7-16-142) of December 2016, network operators are obliged to assign a newly introduced independent identification number (MaLo-ID) to all so-called market locations and to use it in the future to identify market locations as part of market communication. This is to ensure a clear identification of market locations and measurement locations (still identified by the metering code), especially in the event of a 1:1 relationship between market location and measurement location. The specifications for the so-called interim model provide for the use of the MaLo ID as of February 1,2018.
Subject description
The MaLo ID is used as an identifier for all processes relevant to settlement and accounting. Market communication is changed over in such a way that the point of delivery ID is used exclusively until January 30,2018 (also for the future). On January 31,2018, the obligation to communicate with the market will be suspended for one day. From 01.02.2018, only one MaLo ID must then be used for the relevant processes (even in the past). In order to introduce the market location and the associated new code number type MaLo-ID, the necessary adaptations of the affected customer systems are designed with a focus on the central master data application and tested for acceptance after implementation. The MaLo IDs stored in the master data system are transferred to the consuming systems, such as the energy data management system Robotron*eSales, via an extended interface within the framework of the project. After going live, further IT-side operational support is provided.
