Communication protocol and encryption
by Statoil ASA
Abstract
Companies very connected to the gas business (market area operators and storage operators) tell they do not need to follow article 23 of the network code of interoperability.
Category: European
Reported issue
Storage operators and market area operators (Gaspool and Netconnect Germany) tells thay do not need to follow article 23. This leads to an extra cost where network users need to keep AS2 and also ask their vendors to support new encryption to AS2. In addition they also claim they are not obliged to support edig@s xml for nominations on the VTP's. If the network code isn't covering these companies the Network Code on Interoperability and Data Exchange Rules, Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/703 have a reduced effect on harmonization.

Public consultation on data exchange at VTPs and SF

Solution
The consultation process demonstrated that stakeholders are supportive of the extension of the data exchange provisions in the INT NC to virtual trading points. Therefore, ACER and ENTSOG propose an amendment of the INT NC to achieve this as detailed in the attached slide pack. It is proposed to amend Article 1(2), 20 (1), 20 (2) and 23 (1) to extend the scope to virtual trading points and, subject to NRA decision, to points other than interconnection points (e.g. storage and LNG).
As for encryption algorithms, ENTSOG has established a dialogue with the German NRA (BNetzA) and the German institute for IT security (BSI) to find a possible long-term solution for document-based data exchange.
