eRR – SMT - electronic Regulatory Reporting for small & medium-sized trading companies

A small and medium-sized trader (SMT) is a market participant who is not directly active in the wholesale trading market but may be a consumer or producer of significant amounts of energy and thus requires a relationship with one or more wholesale energy trader(s). Since regulatory reporting obligations apply to all market participants, regardless of their size, we have developed eRR SMT specifically for small and medium-sized trading companies operating in the European energy market.

Who is it for?

  • SMTs that require a relationship with one or more wholesale energy trader(s).
  • Companies reporting on behalf of SMTs, including counterparties, clients and energy customers.

Benefits:

For SMTs: 

  • Receive free access to the reporting service used by major energy suppliers that report on your behalf.
  • Use your own on-line account, you can monitor what is being reported in your name and see the responses from the regulator.
  • View a clear summary of your reported trades, per reporter and per jurisdiction.
  • Monitor on-line and/or easily download reported data.
  • Gain full access to the underlying details of reported trades as well as the status of all reports submitted.

For companies reporting on behalf of SMTs:

  • Achieve more from your use of eRR at no additional cost and with no extra effort.
  • You automatically meet your obligation to inform clients of what has been reported to regulators in their name.
  • Provide your clients with on-line access so that they can see and monitor reports you have made on their behalf using eRR.

The context:

SMTs use their relationships with wholesale energy market participants to manage their energy needs without the need to become active in the wholesale energy market themselves. There are a large number of SMTs operating in the European energy market and together they form the SMT market segment.

Although most SMTs rely on a larger counterparty which reports on their behalf, the SMT is nevertheless responsible for ensuring the correctness, accuracy and completeness of the data reported in their name. eRR SMT provides an effective, efficient tool that can be used to ensure regulatory reporting compliance. This benefits both the reporter and the SMT counterparty.
