Non-regulated electricity information exchange protocols
A number of EIEPs are not regulated at this time, although we encourage traders and distributors to use the following EIEPs when exchanging the type of information listed below.
EIEP4 - Customer information
EIEP4 allows traders to provide customer information to distributors, as a snapshot or incremental file. Incremental customer detail changes will result in a “triggered” report to be sent to the distributor.

EIEP6 - Fault notification and service requests
EIEP 6 is comprised of two files which may be used for exchange of information between traders and distributors for network related customer faults, and traders and their field services providers for non-network related customer faults and service requests. They are:
a) EIEP6A: which may be used by traders for reporting network related customer faults to distributors, and by distributors for communicating status updates and closure to traders
b) EIEP6B: which may be used by traders for reporting non-network related customer faults and service requests to their field services providers (who in some cases may also be the distributor), and by field services providers for communicating status updates and closure information to traders.
