Centrica and enerbility successfully verifying eCM interoperability

The adoption of ebXML within the electrical power distribution sector is moving forward.

Successful bilateral tests between enerbility software gmbh, Austria, and Centria PLC, UK were completed, with the goal to show the exchange and matching of XML based trade confirmations between different vendor implementations.

XML based electronic confirmations as a substitute for fax-based confirmations are the next step on the way to full electronic processes in the energy trading business. The necessary standards to accomplish this are developed in cooperative effort supported by the most important energy companies under the umbrella of the European Federation of Energy Traders (http://www.efet.org).
