New company covers the entire energy data management process

Berlin/Leipzig, 4 February 2009 – With caplog-x GmbH, the liberalised gas market has gained a new company for energy data management. Partners in caplog-x are VNG-Erdgascommerz GmbH and PSI AG. caplog-x GmbH is currently negotiating with trac-x-GmbH and other companies to become partners. caplog-x GmbH has started operations as an independent company on 1 January 2009. The predecessor was the brand caplog-x, with which VNG – Verbundnetz Gas AG had been offering its services for measurement data transfer since 2007.

caplog-x GmbH provides all the market participants in the gas market with the entire information from data collection to data processing. This covers all the gas-specific processes from the calibrated transmission of measurements, to the energy data processing, to the contract management to the invoicing. The resulting data can be accessed by customers through the online portal www.messdatenportal.de as well as with conventional communication techniques. Services from caplog-x can be obtained throughout Europe. “The founding of caplog-x GmbH with the involvement of strong partners allows us to act independently in the energy market,” explains Dr. Peter Stoll, Managing Director of caplog-x GmbH. “Thus, we are able to guarantee the highest possible market neutrality.”
