What It Is

Inside Information Platform is an inside information disclosure platform for REMIT, aimed at market participants in the EU wholesale energy markets, including electricity, natural gas, and LNG. According to the available materials, the platform is officially listed by ACER for publishing UMMs and helps companies meet the requirement, in place since 2021, to disclose inside information primarily via an IIP.

Core Features and Integrations

The platform provides a web-based interface for publishing UMMs. Users can configure facility details, define event periods, enter unavailable capacity, add duty-related notes, and validate data before submission. Its master data management capabilities are important for energy assets and reporting entities. In addition to manual entry, the platform offers SFTP and API interfaces, supporting automated transmission, publication, and correction of UMMs in ACER-compliant formats. The API documentation covers request formats, message threading rules, and submission requirements for electricity, natural gas, and other UMMs. Public materials do not mention ready-made plugins for ERP, ETRM, or trading systems, nor do they disclose team roles, approval workflows, or permission models.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing information is relatively brief: the monthly base fee starts at €89, with a fixed monthly fee model and no hardware or software license costs required. The platform provides both a production environment and a test system. Test access must be enabled by contacting support via email or phone, but it is not stated whether the test system is free, how long it is available for, or whether there are limits on users or API calls.

Security and Compliance

This is the product’s strongest dimension. Its core value is not general-purpose collaboration, but REMIT-compliant disclosure. The materials explicitly mention secure hosting in Germany, TÜV-certified data centers, and ISO 27001. For companies subject to EU energy regulation, these details are meaningful reference points.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

The strengths are its focused use case, clear compliance positioning, lack of need for local software, and support for automated interfaces. The limitations are that public materials provide limited detail on plans, permissions, SLA, payment methods, and implementation specifics, so procurement will still require contract-level discussions. It is best suited to European energy market participants that have confirmed REMIT inside information disclosure obligations, especially companies looking to connect internal systems via API or SFTP.

Access from China and Alternatives

The available materials do not state accessibility from mainland China, and payment methods are not disclosed. If a Chinese company participates in EU wholesale energy market trading, it should still assess REMIT applicability, cross-border network connectivity, and euro payment processes. Alternative options are typically other ACER listed IIPs or local energy compliance reporting systems.
