The Dutch energy sector has formally approved a specification of AS4 as communication protocol in the Dutch national energy market.

The “AS4 Energiemarkt Profiel” (AS4 Energy Market Profile) can now be used and distributed.

The Dutch energy sector develops its own market processes under the supervision of the Netherlands Authority for Consumers & Markets (ACM). The non-profit association NEDU plays a central role in the development and implementation of market processes and is a platform that connects the roles of various market operators. It covers both gas and electricity and both wholesale, retail and metering processes. The NEDU Technical Committee is assigned to prepare the implementation of the profile, where applicable.
