On Friday 5 July, the European Commission published a guidance document designed to ensure a consistent approach to the communication of national practices in terms of the interoperability of electricity metering data, in line with the future repository planned for next year under EU rules.
As part of the Commission’s action plan for the digitalisation of energy, this benchmark aims to guarantee uniformity, promote competition in the retail market and encourage innovation in energy services.
It makes it easier for electricity suppliers and energy service companies to operate on the internal electricity market, while avoiding excessive administrative costs.
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1162 thus requires EU countries to map and communicate their practices using a standardised model, improving the transparency, efficiency and predictability of data exchanges and offering European customers more choice and opportunities on the energy market.
The new rules in the Implementing Regulation will come into force on 5 January 2025. EU countries will then have to communicate their national practices to the European Commission by 5 July 2025.
