Integration Tests for the new eCAT update 2016/03/04

Dear market participants, We inform you that after testing internally the new eCAT update we plan to perform integration tests/parallel run with TSOs in the next week. Presuming successful completion of the tests with TSOs we intend to initiate tests with market participants after 14 March 2016. We will test monthly, daily, shadow and intraday auctions, curtailment and perform daylight saving time test. The tests should be performed for several days in a row, with the system running in real time where the auctions will run with certain delay being shifted e.g. for 2 hours comparing to real daily schedule. The detailed schedule will be confirmed in the next week. Your active participation will be appreciated. We assume to provide you with access to the dedicated test environment using your accounts from Productive system and update your deposit amount on daily basis in line with the real updates. Accounts for access to the test and or credit limit amount might be adjusted upon request. Kind regards Operations Team
