New registration and entering the energy market
Partners in Energy is the place where all new market participants can register. Read how it works here.
Registration and management of data
Partners in Energy is the place where all new market participants can register. This provides them with access to the required data from the sector and they can use EDSN's services for market facilitation processes. The data recorded at Partners in Energy remains the property of the market participants. In the future, we will make it increasingly easy to view and manage your own data.
Registering your organisation as a market participant or changing your details can be done either with or without a Partners in Energy account. eHerkenning is required for this. One benefit of an account is that you have access to lots of information and all of our services. In addition, having an account makes managing your data easier.
New registration and entering the energy market
To enter the energy market as a new market participant, you must register at Partners in Energy. The registration process consists of five steps. The average duration of the entire process is between 4 and 6 months.
Want to register as a foreign party?
A foreign party can also register in the Netherlands, but cannot use eHerkenning when registering. Use this form instead.
Registration process
Step 1. Information and registration
The first step is to register with EDSN. You can do this by starting the registration and filling in the form. You will need eHerkenning for this, which will be explained further when you start the registration process.
Stap 2. Technical connectivity
In this step, you realise the connection between your organisation's decentralised system and EDSN's central systems. After receiving all your details, we will realise the connection within three weeks. You will then immediately receive the login details for the test environment(s).
Stap 3. Testing an qualification
In this step, you prepare the qualification that you will perform in the test environment. This qualification means that, as a new party, you can demonstrate that your decentralised system is capable of exchanging correct and complete information with EDSN's central systems. We also check whether you have enough knowledge of the processes in the energy market.
Stap 4. Formal completion of registration
When during registering with EDSN (step 1), a Provisional Registration was chosen because you did not yet have a market role assignment? Then we still need to complete the registration once you have been granted a market role. For this, you need eHerkenning with reliability level 3 (eH3).
Stap 5. Energy market entry
You have successfully completed the qualification with EDSN and have been awarded your market role. In this step, we register you as a market party in the central systems. We also inform the national and regional grid operators of your registration. After ten working days you join the energy market. From then on, you can carry out activities from your new market role.
Arrange in advance
It is important to be aware of industry agreements before registration. Some things you arrange in advance. This way, we can process your application quickly.
