Tranche 3 went live on 1 January 2025. As a result, the amended market agreements from this tranche have come into force. For example, the collective settlement requests (VVVs) that system operators offer to suppliers. However, many suppliers do not respond to the VVVs and that can have consequences for them.
At the end of February 2025, the system operators offered the VVVs to the suppliers for the first time. They do this in the context of the agreements made for TS035 (IC252) ‘Verrekenproces Meetfouten GV’ (‘Settlement Process Measurement Errors GV’). It concerns the VVVs for trial month 01.2025. The information has been made available via the Message Exchange Service (MES). The system operators have not received a response from a large number of suppliers.
Process agreements: respond to a VVV
If you, as a supplier, do not respond to a VVV that has been made available, this may have consequences for your organization. Therefore, here is a general summary of the process agreements made.
- The system operator offers a VVV to the supplier concerned via the MES no later than the last working day of the M+1.
- The supplier has 1 month, the response period, the time to respond to an offered VVV. This results in 3 follow-up scenarios:
- The supplier agrees and sends an ‘agreement’ within the response period in response to the VVV offered by the system operator. After this, the invoicing process is started by the claiming party (supplier or system operator).
- The supplier does not agree and sends, within the response period, a ‘rejection’ (with a reason for rejection) in response to the VVV offered by the system operator. After this, an analysis or coordination takes place between the parties involved.
- The supplier does not respond to the VVV offered by the system operator to the system operator, within the response period, with an ‘agreement’ or a ‘rejection’. As a result, the VVV is accepted in accordance with agreements and the invoicing process is started by the claiming party (supplier or system operator).
If you respond after the response period (with an ‘agreement’ or ‘rejection’), your response will not be processed!
