Submission and publication of data
Article 4
1. Primary owners of data shall submit data to TSOs in accordance with Articles 6 to 17. They shall ensure that the data they provide to TSOs, or where provided for in accordance with paragraph 2 to data providers, are complete, of the required quality and provided in a manner that allows TSOs or data providers to process and deliver the data to the ENTSO for Electricity in sufficient time to allow the ENTSO for Electricity to meet its obligations under this Regulation in relation to the timing of the publication of information. TSOs, and where relevant data providers, shall process the data they receive and provide them to the ENTSO for Electricity in due time for publication. 2. Primary owners of data may fulfil their obligation laid down in paragraph 1 by submitting data directly to the central information transparency platform provided they use a third party acting as data provider on their behalf. This way of submitting data shall be subject to the prior agreement of the TSO in whose control area the primary owner is located. When providing its agreement the TSO shall assess whether the data provider fulfils the requirements referred to in points (b) and (c) of Article 5, first subparagraph. 3. TSOs shall be considered as primary owners of data for the purposes of Articles 6 to 17, except when stated otherwise. 4. In case a bidding zone consists of several control areas in different Member States, the ENTSO for Electricity shall publish the data referred to in paragraph 1 separately for the concerned Member States. 5. Without prejudice to the obligations of the TSOs and of the ENTSO for Electricity laid down in paragraph 1 and Article 3, data can also be published on TSOs’ or other parties’ websites. 6. National regulatory authorities shall ensure that the primary owners of the data, TSOs and data providers comply with their obligations under this Regulation.
