Gas Industry Co invites submissions on four file formats, which have been proposed by the Information Exchange File Formats Working Group. Use of the file formats is not mandated by any set of governance arrangements, but equivalent protocols are currently used in the electricity industry for exchanges of information between retailers and network owners. If the industry consultation does not raise any issues, the file format protocols will be published as a guideline on the Gas Industry Co website.
