European Storage Operators (SSOs) are publishing the needed transparency information on their websites, in particular the one requested by Regulation 715/2009. However, to promote access to this information in a harmonized way GSE members have decided in February 2013 to jointly develop a common facilitating tool that will make the already existing information more accessible to stakeholders and interested parties. GSE members have agreed to implement on a voluntary basis a common Transparency Template to facilitate the access to this great amount of information. This information includes also commercially relevant information for storage users.
The Transparency Template will be installed on a relevant page of each SSO website (home page or any other appropriate page):
- allowing people to be easily directed via hyperlinks from Macro Areas and Submenus to the necessary information
- respecting the diversity of business models and regulatory conditions
- making the already existing information in SSOs website more accessible to the market
