Transition from OSP mandates to Data sharing

With the introduction of the Energy Act, the way in which organisations retrieve energy data from small connections – with the consent of data rights holders – is changing. The current process, based on OSP mandates, is therefore being phased out and replaced by Data sharing via Het Normo.

The transition from OSP mandates to Data sharing via Het Normo applies to any service provider that uses data from small connections with the consent of data rights holders. This includes, amongst others:

• other service providers (OSPs)
• energy suppliers

Key milestones

• From 1 January 2028, no new OSP mandates may be registered. Existing mandates will remain valid during the transition period until 1 January 2029.
• From 1 January 2029, energy data requests will be made exclusively via Data sharing.

Registration

Organisations wishing to use Data sharing with the consent of data rights holders must first register as a service provider with Het Normo. Further information on this can be found on the web page for service providers (in Dutch): pagina Voor dienstverleners.

New data products for Data sharing

New data products will be introduced in 2027 to facilitate the transition from OSP mandates to Data sharing. We will make these available in stages. These include:

• Interval readings for small connections
• Connection details
• Interval volumes for small connections

Further information on the Energiedatawijzer

A more detailed explanation of the transition can be found on the Energiedatawijzer (in Dutch). Throughout the transition, information on topics such as the use of the new data products will be continuously updated on the Energiedatawijzer. There, you will find all the relevant information you need to switch from OSP mandates to Data sharing via Het Normo in good time. This includes, for example, information on implementing Data sharing within your organisation, presentations from information sessions and frequently asked questions. Stay up to date by subscribing to updates from the release page on the Energiedatawijzer via the button in the top right-hand corner.
