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 Encryption Guide 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. 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.
