Data Transport Guides

Secure data transport is enabled by the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB) Electronic Delivery Mechanism (EDM), ebXML and digital certificates.

North American Energy Standards Board Electronic Delivery Mechanism, Version 1.6

The NAESB EDM 1.6 is the current data transport mechanism for the retail market, as of April 2004. The Implementation Guide and Market Survey may be requested by contacting Client Relations at 512-248-3900.

Gas Industry Standard Board Electronic Delivery Mechanism, Version 1.4

GISB EDM 1.4 was originally used for point-to-point data transport (market participant to market participant) in the retail market. It has been replaced by the market-wide implementation of NAESB EDM 1.6. Related documents may be requested by contacting Client Relations at 512-248-3900.

FTP Replacement/ebXML (Electronic Business Using Extensible Markup Language)

A secure alternative to FTP was created for communications with ERCOT. It is also being used as the main transport mechanism for Customer Care data transmissions and load research sampling. Related documents and downloads are available in this section of the website.

Security for Digital Certificates

ERCOT offers market participants secured access to restricted ERCOT websites through digital certificate technology and software. Market participants must confirm that the security process for digital certificates has been followed.
