CSSConnect

What is CSSConnect?

CSSConnect is a Central Switching Service (CSS) adaptor solution which ElectraLink has developed to support the faster switching programme for energy market consumers. Built on the same 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 as an additional chargeable service, facilitating near real-time communication between market participants and the CSS. This service allows users to connect to Data Communications Company’s central systems using their existing DTS connection, without the need to design, build or test new systems themselves.
