There are different views within the industry about the reporting of purchase seller agreement when transactions consist of different parts. For example:

• Company A can sell electricity to Company B in accordance with the terms and conditions of their purchase seller agreement; but also
• Company B can sell electricity to Company A in accordance with the terms and conditions of their purchase seller agreement

How should such a contract be reported?

1. Some market participants believe that the contract should be split in two different reporting streams: one contract for the sold quantity and one contract for the bought quantity
2. Other market participants suggested to report one contact using C as buy/sell indicator

This different views may result in the reporting of the same contract with different formats:

1. Company A reports a Table 2 with a “C” as buy/sell indicator;
2. Company B report two separate Table 2, one for the sold quantity and one contract for the bought quantity
   What is the right way to report such purchase seller agreement transaction?

Answer:

In the Agency’s view, purchase-seller agreements should be reported with Table 2, as per the examples available in Annex II to the TRUM provided by the Agency’s stakeholders.

With regard to the reporting of a transaction under a purchase-seller agreement with Table 2, if market participants have different views on the reporting of such contracts, they can report their purchase-seller agreement with Table 2 either as one contract with a “C” as buy/sell indicator, or two separate contracts, one as “B” for Buy and one as “S” for Sell, provided that the meaning of the reports is the same.

As a result, any EXECUTION under that framework agreement should be reported with Table 1. Please see examples in Annex II to the TRUM.
