Goal and impact

Help prioritise Energy monitoring. The impact is that a company can be visited with a different frequency.

Considerations

The information is converted into a priority in a uniform, objective manner

Human intervention

Based on the score and data from the case system, the person scheduling the energy checks decides whether to schedule a check or not. If he/she doubts the outcome score, the model can be adjusted.

Risk management

Since the algorithm is rule-based, it is executed only if the conditions are met. If the person planning the energy controls doubts the outcome score, the model can be adjusted.

Legal basis

Living Environment Activities Decree (Bal) and Building Works Decree (Bbl)

Data

  • The risk prioritisation scores companies based on compliance behaviour, environmental variables and the latest controls. The higher a company is on the list, the earlier it is eligible for inspections which can have an impact on any occurrences on humans and the environment.

  • This algorithm is used in prioritising investigations into unreasonable energy supplier tariffs. This framework is related to Detection Methodology Unreasonable Energy Tariffs, found in this algorithm register. The framework helps the ACM determine which conspicuous tariffs (outliers) it wants to investigate further. This allows it to assess whether or not the tariff is reasonable.

  • Risk prioritisation scores companies based on objective compliance behaviour, environmental relevance and time lapse since last inspection. The higher a company is on the list, the higher the estimated probability of violations and the impact of any incidents on people and the environment.

  • The risk prioritisation instrument (RPI) scores companies based on objectified compliance behaviour, environmental relevance and time lapse since last inspection. The higher a company is on the list, the higher the estimated probability of violations and the impact of any occurrences on people and the environment.

  • 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.
