What is CSSConnect?
CSSConnect is a Central Switching Service (CSS) adaptor solution developed by EelctraLink to deliver faster switching for energy market consumers. Built on the same infrastructure and integration points with market participants as the Data Transfer Service (DTS), CSSConnect is provided to the industry as part of the regulated Data Transfer Service Agreement (DTSA), facilitating near real-time communication between market participants and the Central Switching Service.
CSSConnect benefits
Available to all DTS users
Enables secure, near real-time sharing of information between switching parties
No upfront costs for development or deployment
Fixed monthly charge payable only from when the service becomes operational
Reduces risk to users by re-using an existing service that is proven and reliable, removing the need to integrate with an additional network.

Why should you use CSSConnect?
No upfront costs, and a fixed monthly charge payable only from live operation
With CSSConnect, users will not incur any charges during its development or deployment phases. In addition, there will be no upfront fees or connection charges related to the adoption of this adapter solution. In terms of future operating costs, these will be added to customer’s DTS cost recovery charges for the fixed amount of £1603.66 per month, payable only from when the service enters into live operation, currently planned for April 2022.
CSSConnect minimises the amount of work you are mandated to deliver and we will support you through all programme phases
ElectraLink’s adaptor solution minimises the amount of work that participants are mandated to deliver. We will support all CSSConnect customers through the programme phases, including integration and functionality testing, as proposed by the DCC and their Solution Integrator, Netcompany, to ensure you are fully integrated with the new Central Switching Service programme.
