EBIX

The purpose of ebIX®, the European forum for energy Business Information eXchange, is to advance, develop and standardise the use of electronic information exchange in the energy industry. Therefore, ebIX® provides standardised and harmonised processes for the liberalised downstream electricity and gas markets with the focus on information exchange, following EU rules and allowing national customisation... ebIX® was founded in 2002 by a set of European TSOs and national energy organisations with the task to standardise electronic information exchange in the European downstream energy market. Despite that the ebIX® deliverables are widely used in multiple countries, ebIX® never became a formally EU-acknowledged body. With the start of the DSO Entity, ebIX® holds the position that the DSO Entity should take over the ebIX® tasks and deliverables, since the DSO Entity has a formal EU mandate on the appropriate domain.
