Regulatory compliance

The Regulatory Affairs team is mainly concerned with the study and interpretation of regulations in the energy sectors, both in sales and distribution.
The aim is to be a point of reference providing direct and clear support in an ever-evolving context by analysing resolutions, determinations, circulars, first level laws, technical specifications and guidelines of the various institutions, also noting the operational effects that the rules have on the daily activities of market operators.
The team sends out simple and clear periodic briefings outlining the main innovations affecting the regulated sectors.
Working groups can also be set up to analyse individual and specific cases that may arise in the world of Utilities.
The team members work directly with various officials when ad hoc enquiries are required, so that they have access to quick and direct feedback to interpret regulations.

The “Reporting Analysis” team is in charge of managing the various obligations that sales and distribution operators are required to fulfil vis-à-vis the various authorities (ARERA, CSEA, Customs Agency, Revenue Agency, GSE, etc.).
In detail, the group analyses the main obligations and collects data in order to be able to meet the reporting obligations.
In addition, the team advises on the data requested from time to time, so that they are handled correctly by the operators.
A compliance calendar is drawn up and updated, highlighting the deadlines to which operators are subject and periodic updates.
For those companies that use CPL’s Billing and Distribution software solutions, our team takes care of the whole process to fulfil such requirements, from data extraction and verification directly in customer’s systems, through to uploading such information on the various portals.
Advice is also provided on tariffs, with the preparation and updating of sales tariffs and support in the fulfilment of obligations related to the determination of distribution tariffs and the RAB.
The group also provides support in the activities of the “top tier” of sales and trading companies in the electricity and gas markets in Italy and Europe, with tools to perform activities such as consumption forecasting, portfolio management, pricing, and fulfil REMIT obligations.

The “IIS Development” team is mainly in charge of analysing the technical specifications issued by the Integrated Information System with regard to all operators in the sector.
The consultants on this team communicate with customers on any updates regarding the publication by the IIS of new technical specifications or significant changes in the management of the processes, offering the necessary support for the relevant interpretation and clarifications.
In addition to this, the consultants periodically interface with the IIS contact persons to discuss any critical issues on the activities managed in the Portal.
CPL can also provide the outsourcing service of one or more IIS processes on the basis of the Customer’s specific requests or needs.
