The Portfolio Steering Committee (PFSG) has established a Request for Change (RFC) for TS046-IC280 Light. It concerns RFC-020-A2.0 IC280L ‘Meetmaand in reconciliatieberichten’ (‘Measurement month in reconciliation messages’).
TS046-IC280 Light is about converting the EDINE reconciliation messages from profile connections electricity (via the Central Mailbox System (CPS)) to XML messages (via the Market-Market-Communication Hub). The implementation is scheduled for 1 May 2026, at the same time as Tranche 4. The business services and the message definitions have already been worked out and reviewed by the market, but have not yet been published, because TS046-IC280 Light has been (largely) removed from the scope of Tranche 3.
Problem and solution
During an analysis by TenneT to implement IC280 Light, it was found that a data from the EDINE messages was not reflected in the XML messages, namely the ‘metering period’. This is the most recent month for which the volumes used in the relevant reconciliation run have been established. With the establishment of RFC-020, it was decided to add the ‘metering period’ to the reconciliation messages of electricity profile connections.
The Messaging Team will work to incorporate this RFC-020 into the message specifications as soon as possible.
