Energy supplier assessment form

Consumer and Market Authority

This algorithm assesses the financial position of licensed energy suppliers. It looks at their energy purchases and how well they have hedged supply obligations. The ACM calculates stress scenarios to see whether they can still meet their supply obligations for gas and electricity even then.

Goal and impact

The purpose of the algorithm is to assess whether the licence holder can continue to meet the security of supply of electricity and gas even under the conditions of the stress scenario.


If the algorithm shows that a licensed party does not meet the condition of the stress scenario a thus putting the security of supply of Electricity and Gas under pressure, the ACM will place the party under enhanced supervision, and maintain intensive contact with it.

Considerations

The use of the algorithm speeds up the surveillance process. By creating insight into the large amount of data, adequate supervision can be carried out in a way that would not be possible with manual work.

Human intervention

Before the ACM proceeds with enhanced supervision, all underlying data will be carefully checked through a four-eye principle.

Risk management

Before the ACM proceeds with enhanced supervision, all underlying data will be carefully checked through a four-eye principle.

Legal basis

This algorithm tests whether the licence holder's procurement strategy complies with Article 4 of the Policy Rule on Reliable Supply of Electricity or Gas and Security of Energy Supply. The aim is to limit risks of supply problems and ensure continuity of energy supply.

Operations

Data

Financial positions of licensed energy suppliers combined with energy market price data

Technical design

Licensees must submit a substantiation of their hedge strategy and hedge positions per specific reference date in Excel format. The price curve for electricity and gas on the reference date is used. Stress scenarios are calculated based on this price curve and the hedge position. In combination with the most recent equity position and liquidity forecasts, it is then assessed whether the licensee, even under the conditions of these stress scenarios, can continue to meet the security of electricity and gas supply.

  • Quickscan Financial Position Energy Suppliers

    Consumer and Market Authority

    The ACM monitors the financial position of licensed suppliers. Based on information suppliers submit to the ACM, the ACM performs some simple calculations to determine various financial ratios. Partly based on the results, it determines which suppliers the ACM will prioritise when assessing all the information provided.

  • Meeting the energy saving obligation

    Netherlands Enterprise Agency

    In the reporting of the digital reporting form of the energy saving information obligation, companies fill in the EML for each location. The digital counter determines whether the energy saving obligation is met based on the answers . This is done by generating a classification code .

  • Detection algorithm Unreasonable Energy Tariffs

    Consumer and Market Authority

    This algorithm concerns a methodology to detect potentially unreasonable supply tariffs of energy suppliers. The supervisory board can use it to determine whether further investigation is needed. The tariff of an energy product may be unreasonable if it is much higher than the tariffs of comparable energy products.
