The Data Transfer Services Agreement (DTSA) is the multiparty agreement, which relates to use of the Data Transfer Service (DTS). The DTSA is under strict change control and is managed by ElectraLink on behalf of the UK electricity industry, through the DTS User Group. See the link below for the latest version of the DTSA. As part of our New User set-up process, new Users and new entrants accede to the DTSA by signing both the DTS Accession Agreement and a Local User Agreement for their connection to the EMDH.

Users of the DTS can raise change requests to ElectraLink regarding the DTSA, the Data Transfer Handbook, or the DTS itself at any time.
