In general, messages utilise CET-time but Finnish market participants may use EET-time if they wish so. In this case it is their responsibility to manage the message gate-closure times which are set according to CET-time. Reporting and imbalance settlement in NBS-model are always performed and invoiced from BRPs in CET-time.
Elspot- and Elbas-trades are not included in Bilateral Trades and therefore have to be reported separately.
We have been notified by several DSOs that the current gate closures in the NBS model are too strict to handle these situations and that it will result in an increased number of bilateral corrections. eSett and the involved TSOs are currently reviewing the set gate closures and will communicate any changes as soon as possible via eSetts established communication channels.

Svenska kraftnät is reporting profiled consumption and profiled losses to eSett on behalf of the Swedish DSOs.
As a service to the Swedish DSOs, Svenska kraftnät has decided to continue to receive the load profile shares from Swedish DSOs and based on those calculate and divide the profiled consumption per MGA and BRP (like today). In these calculations rounding errors could occur resulting in that the balances are not equal to “0” but very close to “0”.
eSett is as a standard reporting back acknowledgements on all messages sent to eSett. eSett is also reporting back information on exchanges, bilateral trades and settlement results depending on the market role.

"The last seven settled days" refers to settlement data from the last seven days which can be seen as final. In other words, the last seven days whose reporting window has been closed.
The collateral is always calculated on Monday by 13 CET. In case Monday happens to be a holiday, the calculation of the collateral is postponed to next working day. In other words, regardless of the holidays, the collateral is always calculated on invoicing day. If there appears to be significant changes in the requirements of the collaterals, the changed information can be published on any day.
BRPs report data every day and eSett will send the invoices regarding the whole week once it is complete.
