CSV - IT Infrastructure Expert

TenneT is developing a tool to partially automate the validation process for redispatching and countertrading (RDCT) cost sharing. Originally planned for mid-2024, the cost-sharing process, covering the CCR Core (16 TSOs across 13 countries) with an estimated annual volume exceeding €5 billion, has been delayed to 2027 due to implementation challenges.

This process foresees local validation of central RDCT cost-sharing outcomes. TenneT, in collaboration with German TSOs (50Hertz, Amprion, and TransnetBW), has developed a validation concept and, together with the consortium of vendors, is building a system for partially automated cost sharing validation, monitoring and assessment. Automation will expand post-go-live based on experience and data.

Delays in the central CorNet and ROSC/CS projects directly impact TenneT’s CSV project, necessitating extended timelines and stable project delivery. To maintain team continuity, TenneT is preparing an EU tender to secure IT infrastructure consulting services. However, due to limited internal resources and significant risk assigned to undertaking competitive procedures at this point in time, extending the contract with Pro-Tec-Services GmbH (IT Architect - Sven Westphal) through June 2025 is the most rational solution.

This extension ensures continuity, retains critical know-how, and minimizes financial and operational risks while the EU tender process is completed, stabilizing the CSV project during this critical transition phase.
