Removing complexity Processes that make energy markets work

The Challenge

Energy and utilities have to create an efficient and customer centric market. Customer processes like supplier switching and moving house have to be handled transparently and without disruption.

Liberalisation and deregulation inevitably lead to a massive increase in the flow of information between the market parties, who include distribution companies, incumbent suppliers, new entrants and the regulators. The consumer should benefit from fair and transparent market facilitation.

A Central Market Facilitation body should take the lead in the transformation. This must be a predictable, first time right project. And requires a flexible and trusted partner to oversee all implementation aspects. Such a partner would need to be experienced in setting up and servicing central market systems in the utilities sector.

Our Answer

Energy Clearing House (ECH) or Central Market System is the best way to co-ordinate and facilitate information transfer between energy companies. Our concept for Central Market Systems has matured through years of innovative thought and market feedback. We have transformed the majority of existing deregulated markets and are proud of our long track record. This covers retail and/or wholesale processes in both gas and electricity markets.

We take care of the design, realisation, implementation, hosting and support the Clearing House system. We are closely involved in the development of new processes and services.

Key Benefits

Central Market Systems allow:

  • increased retail market competition
  • competitive smart markets to operate effectively
  • utilities to enhance the benefits of deploying smart meters.
