Consultation

Thanks to all who provided feedback on this consultation which sought feedback on our proposal to standardise how electricity product data is exchanged through an improved suite of Electricity Information Exchange Protocols (EIEPs).

EIEPs are standardised formats for securely sharing electricity data between industry participants or trusted third parties. Our preferred option is to replace the current voluntary EIEP14 with a regulated, modular suite of new protocols. This would:

make it mandatory for power companies to share accurate, standardised plan and tariff information with third parties
cover all plan types, not just standard ones
enable secure, on-demand digital requests that third-party applications and services can use
lay the groundwork for real-time switching, clearer bills and fairer pricing.
