Full Retail Contestability

The introduction of Full Retail Contestability (FRC) in 2002 Citipower/Powercor built and implemented its suite of FRC applications to meet the unique requirements of the National Electricity Market. The application supports the entire FRC business operations with coverage including:

  • Meter Data Management
  • Network Billing
  • Standing Data Management
  • Market Transactions
  • Meter Reading
  • Meter Asset Management
  • Service Order Management
  • Business to Business (B2B)

Now implemented in three major distribution businesses, the FRC Application Suite has been continually enhanced to meet new and changed market requirements (e.g National B2B) and to continue to improve the productivity of business operations.

Integration
We understand the the integrated nature of information requirements across an organistation; therefore we have built standard interfacing capabilities to applications such as:
  • GIS
  • OMS
  • SAP
  • Portals
  • MVRS and MV90
Gateway Transaction Management
Using the Electricity industry standard aseXML and handshaking technologies, the gateway component manages the external data flows essential for B2B and B2M operations.
All transactions are processed in such a way to keep the market and internal systems synchronised automatically.
