SEEBURGER Cloud for Utility Industry

RRM+ Service

The EU regulation 1227/2011 on the wholesale energy market integrity and transparency (REMIT) lays down reporting obligations for market players in the electricity and gas markets.

For the moment the reports concern transaction and fundamental data, but in the future other data. Strict rules apply with respect to the reporting deadlines, the file format as well as the documentation of the file transfer.

The reports are not transferred by the players themselves, but by selected service providers, known as RRM (Registered Reporting Mechanism), to the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER). The mission of ACER is to monitor and regulate European energy markets with the objective of promoting transparency and stability.

Description

The SEEBURGER RRM+ Service is one of the mechanisms registered with ACER and it is represented in the ACER-RRM-List as follows:

ACER Code / ID of RRM: B0000112P.DE
Delegated Party Name: SEEBURGER AG

 

Features and Services

Our RRM+ Service offers you several technical options to transfer transaction information to the energy regulator ACER:

In the initial link-up (“RRM+ basic service”) the SEEBURGER RRM+ Service comprises only the automated integration to your reporting system. Further technical integration options mentioned below will require a separate and explicit order placed by your company:

  • Manual integration via filling out the respective online forms
  • Manual integration via uploading CSV files

The requirements concerning the formats of the data that your company provides to SEEBURGER for the purpose of reporting to ACER have to be in compliance with the respective requirements of ACER, as laid down in the MoP (Manual of Procedures on transaction and fundamental data reporting under REMIT). As of 30 September, 2015, the MoP can be obtained in English from ACER’s website.

SEEBURGER checks the syntax of the reporting data during the reporting process. In addition the data transferred by SEEBURGER to ACER undergoes a validation process. The RRM+ Service provides the results of all tests and/or validations as well as of any feedback (e.g. acknowledgements, reports) by the ACER system via your reporting system.

You can view your messages and feedback online via the monitoring interface of the RRM+ Service. In this way you can always keep an eye on the reporting process and track every step in detail.
