Introduction
This IRS proposes harmonised processes and data exchange flows to measure traction energy consumption and establish invoicing (from one country to another, from one supplier to another) for efficient cross-border energy settlement.
This time, the meeting is organised in Warsaw, at the National Polish stadium.
The objective of the meeting is to share an overview of the first stages of implementation of the IRS, and familiarise and involve other concerned parties, as the collective involvement is important to operate a seamless European traction energy market.
On 6 November 2018, UIC has hosted, at its headquarters in Paris (16, rue Jean Rey), a Stakeholder Workshop dedicated to the presentation of the new International Railway Solution (IRS) 90930, dealing with Traction Energy Settlement and Data Exchange.
Based on which has been issued a Sector Declaration to develop a harmonised traction energy settlement framework:

The vital points of the work are:
- Deployment of Data Collection Systems (DCS) and Energy Measurement Systems (EMS) and status
- Common European way of settling the energy use of trains and locomotives
- Defined roles, processes and requirements for all parties involved (Infrastructure Managers, Railway Undertakings, etc.)
- Commercial requirements and recommendations
- Technical requirements, recommendations and common solutions:
- Data and information required to be delivered and handled by the parties and their systems
- Data formats and transfer methods, including tighter deadlines
- IT requirements
This IRS was developed in line with latest relevant European regulations and standards, namely:
- New amendments to EU Regulations 1301/2014 and 1302/2014;
- TSI Rolling Stock;
- TSI Energy;
- CENELEC standard EN 50463 “Energy Measurement on Trains”.
