BALANCING GROUP MANAGEMENT
On 20 December 2018, Ruling Chamber 6 of The German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA), set out its decision on a further amendment to the rules for electronic market communication in line with the Act on the Digitisation of the Energy Transition (“Marktkommunikation 2020 – MaKo 2020”), file reference number BK6-18-032.
In order to implement these fundamental changes into the business process descriptions for the electricity market, all process documents currently in use (business processes for supplying customers with electricity (GKPE), change processes in metering (WiM), market processes for electricity-generating market locations (MPES) and market rules for balancing group settlement (MaBiS)) needed to be adapted.
You can find the announcement under file reference number BK6-18-032 on the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) website.
Resolutions BK6-16-200 and BK7-16-142, dated December 20th, 2016, on the regulation of transmission of EDIFACT messages, came into effect on June 1st, 2017. For further information, please see the following link: www.edi-energy.de ("Regelungen zum Übertragungsweg" - regulations regarding the transmission route - in their most recent version).
Please take note, therefore, that in the event of a new Balance Group Contract, or changes to your 1:1 EDIFACT address in Appendix 2 of the Balance Group Contract, you simultaneously have to submit a valid SMIME certificate for encryption and signature.
For the exchange of public certificates, the coding applies:
In future, we will not be permitted to receive, process or send EDIFACT messages that do not comply with the rules.
We would like to draw your attention to the publication of the updated version of the GPKE/GeLi gas public holiday calendar for 2020.
In the federal state of Berlin, 8 March has been introduced as a new public holiday. This holiday has been introduced on short notice with immediate effect from 2020. Therefore, the GKE time period calendar for 2020 will be modified by the BDEW as every public holiday counts when calculating the time periods for all federal states.
Since the introduction of smart metering systems is associated with far-reaching process changes for all market roles, we are providing an initial brief guidance on what to pay particular attention to in communications with the TSO (in the roles of TSO and BIKO).
