REMIT: Secondary Trade Reporting

TSOs not obligated to provide secondary capacity trading data - we are not one of the counter-parties and therefore do not hold the relevant data.

Those trading on the secondary market need to provide this data.  

However, NG are very happy to work with market participants to find an effective solution to provide this data to ACER. 

We suggest that one solution could be for Xoserve to become the delivery agent for secondary data in much the same way as it will become for primary data as per the NG project.  NG is now beginning work with Xoserve on designing the IT systems to

provide primary data to ACER. We offer shippers and traders an opportunity to collaborate with our REMIT reporting project such that it could become a solution to secondary reporting requirements for GB markets participants.

However, Xoserve would need the price data which it does not currently hold. 

If market participants wanted Xoserve to provide this REMIT data service on their behalf, they may need to formally contract Xoserve to do so. Confidentially assurances on how Xoserve would deal with and store the relevant price data may be needed.
