Event description

A DSO reports the electricity disconnection at an accounting point to Datahub. The DSO disconnects electricity at the accounting point when, for example:

  • The accounting point has no supplier

  • Renovation work is being carried out at the accounting point

  • The customer fails to pay the DSO’s bills

  • The customer requests a disconnection from the DSO

  • The supplier has requested disconnection (DH-421).

Parties

  • DSO

  • Datahub

  • Supplier

  • Balancing service provider

Time limits

Notes/Exceptions

Effective time of the update

Notes/Exceptions

A disconnection must be reported to Datahub immediately after the disconnection as soon as the information is available in the DSO’s system.

If the information is not available immediately after disconnection, for example, due to a manually disconnected site, the notification must be sent to Datahub within one week of supply disconnection, if the customer’s annual consumption estimate is less than 1 GWh and, at the latest, on the following working day after connection for a customer with an annual consumption of 1 GWh or more. A disconnection notification is still accepted after this period, but interventions will be made if notifications are repeatedly sent late.

The change in accounting point connection status is forwarded to the possible supplier.

DH-422-2

Balancing service provider

If the notification of disconnection changes a customer’s supplier information due to the updated agreement and the customer has issued an ‘Accounting point’s balance responsibility information’ authorization for the accounting point, the new balance responsibility information is forwarded to the balancing service provider. The authorization must be valid on the reporting date of the event and the validity of the changed data must overlap with the validity of the authorization. If the change is retroactive, the information is forwarded only if its validity overlaps with the validity of the authorization during the last 60 days (counting from the reporting date).

DH-136-2

Depending on the supplier’s business processes, the supplier may unnecessarily contact the customer or instigate other additional follow-up tasks.

Event cancellation

An incorrect notification is corrected by a connection notification (DH-412) for the same time.
