DH-300 Agreement processes
Sales and grid agreements
This section outlines the processes relating to accounting point sales and grid agreements. As a rule, whenever a supplier makes a new agreement in its own system, the agreement will be reported to Datahub. The DSO confirms its own agreement in Datahub when necessary, but whenever it does this, it will always be based on the supplier’s notification. If the supplier or DSO make changes to the agreement information stored in Datahub, the changes shall be reported to Datahub and Datahub will relay them on to the other party. When the agreement ends, each party terminates its own agreements and the completed agreement termination is sent via Datahub to the other party. It is not possible for an accounting point to have more than a single sales agreement and a single grid agreement valid at any one time, so whenever a new agreement is reported for an accounting point Datahub will automatically terminate the previous agreement and send the information concerning the terminated agreement to the party whose agreement was terminated.
Other types of agreements
Small-scale production purchase agreements
In accordance with existing practices, small-scale production sites are assigned their own accounting points in Datahub, and their own individual processes are initiated. Small-scale production agreements are processed in the same way as traditional consumption accounting point agreements, meaning that there are no differences between agreement processes for small-scale production accounting points and consumption accounting points. In Datahub, agreements linked to a production accounting point are considered to be purchase agreements or small-scale production grid service agreements.
If a production accounting point is connected to a consumption accounting point and the consumption accounting point’s sales agreement is terminated with the reason ”moving out”, this information will be sent to the DSO and to the purchase agreement’s supplier. The linking of consumption and production accounting points also makes it possible for a supplier making a new agreement to use a preliminary search to find out whether the accounting point is connected to a production accounting point.
Electricity delivery agreements
Electricity delivery agreements do not set any special requirements for Datahub. In Datahub, electricity delivery agreements are processed as a separate sales and grid agreement. However, only the supplier with the delivery obligation in the metering grid area can report an electricity delivery agreement. The supplier must inform Datahub if an agreement is an electricity delivery agreement so that the DSO knows not to send grid agreement confirmation to the customer when it receives information about the new agreement from Datahub. Correspondingly, if an electricity delivery agreement is converted into separate agreements, the DSO knows based on this information that it should send a separate grid agreement confirmation to the customer. Information concerning an electricity delivery agreement may also be used to investigate the quantity and relative proportion of such agreements.
The supplier with delivery obligation has the right to obtain information as to whether the customer comes under the scope of delivery obligation or not in accordance with the obligation to deliver set out in section 21 of the Electricity Market Act. In addition, the supplier with delivery obligation also has the right to receive information, in the form of total energy data, to indicate how much of the customer base covered by the scope of delivery obligation are supplied by other suppliers. Datahub provides this data to the supplier with delivery obligation by report via Datahub’s user interface.
Background agreements
Datahub does not maintain any information on so-called background agreements. When a background agreement is activated in a party’s own system, it is reported to Datahub as an ordinary new agreement using standard agreement processes.
