(Nederlandstalige versie van deze pagina)

Why do I need a Private certificate, which falls within the ‘PKIoverheid’, for B2B digital communication with EDSN systems within the Energy Sector?

You need a PKIoverheid Private server certificate, in order to use Web Services for the following EDSN services (B2B) and/or market processes in the Dutch energy market:

  • Portal (information exchange for the market processes, such as Switches; measurement data, Caloric Correction factors, EancodeBook etc.);
  • Portal P4 (to request data from the Central Access servers);
  • CSS (for the submission and retrieval of allocation data for control signal gas);
  • TMR (querying measurement data);
  • Nexus (gas allocation and reconciliation), for signing and encryption.

EDSN is managing the systems for the above mentioned processes. The PKIoverheid Private server certificate allows for secure exchange of data between these systems. The EDSN systems will recognize your organisation by its EAN13 code.

Who needs a PKIoverheid certificate?

Organizations need a PKIoverheid Private server certificate if they are active in one of the following roles in the Dutch energy market; as national/regional network operators, Program Responsible parties, energy suppliers, organizations responsible for measurement and other in the sector acknowledged service providers. The PKIoverheid Private server certificate enables secure communication with the systems of EDSN.
