The customer fails to pay the DSO’s bills
The customer requests a disconnection from the DSO
The supplier has requested disconnection (DH-421).

Time limits
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. |
Information storage

Return of information
Party | Description | Message |
|---|---|---|
DSO | Notification of successful or rejected notification. |
Forwarding of information
Party | Description | Message |
|---|---|---|
Supplier | The change in accounting point connection status is forwarded to the possible supplier. | |
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). |
Significant errors and consequences
Error | Consequence |
|---|---|
Disconnection is reported for the wrong accounting point or otherwise incorrectly. | 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.
