Messaging
The Retail Electricity Market Design has defined 90 market messages, 86 of which are sent as XML messages over the internet. The remaining 4 are sent manually due to infrequency, size limitations etc.
The Market Messages cover a wide area including:
- Registrations
- Site works requests
- Meter data
- Customer Data
ESB Networks have provided software for the messaging solution. The Market Participant Communications Component (MPCC) sends and receives messages. Webforms are used to create Market Participant messages and the readings processor converts readings messages to legacy formats.
