Information on changes of specification of EDI standards (WIRE Standards) resulting from the implementation of the new cross border scheduling principles
Due to the implementation of the new cross border scheduling principles planned for 1 September 2010, PSE Operator will update the specification of EDI standards (WIRE Standards) according to the requirements of FBA method. Therefore it will be necessary to ensure that the WIRE/UR systems of the Scheduling Coordinators (Operatorzy Rynku - OR) are consistent with the new WIRE Standards.

The acceptance tests will be conducted using the test environments of the Scheduling Coordinators and TSO. It is also possible to conduct the acceptance tests of WIRE/UR system by the software vendors. The Scheduling Coordinators who have WIRE/UR systems certified for compliance with the WIRE Standards by software vendors will be exempt from having to hold acceptance tests.

The table below depicts the preliminary time schedule of the implementation project.
