    Operational review of Electricity Information Exchange Protocols (EIEPs)

    Closed

    07 Aug – 22 Sep 2017  

     

    26 submissions received (view submissions)

    We have released a consultation paper proposing a range of changes to the electricity information exchange protocols (EIEPs) overview document and EIEPs 1-12. This operational review flows from content issues that participants and the Standing Data Formats Group identified with the EIEPs. The review also provides the opportunity to align terminology with that recommended in the Electricity Networks Association’s November 2016 guidelines: “Pricing guidelines for electricity distributors” [PDF].

    This consultation paper was discussed at a workshop we held on 15 August 2017.
