Docker Images access

ECP and EDX components can be run within Docker containers.

Option 1: Docker Hub Access

The ECP and EDX components can be seamlessly executed within Docker containers, facilitated through Docker images conveniently hosted on the ENTSO-E Docker hub.

To initiate the process, simply pull the required Docker images from the ENTSO-E Docker hub. These pre-packaged images are readily available, ensuring a smooth deployment experience.

For additional details or assistance, please feel free to reach out to ecp@entsoe.eu . They can provide you with the necessary access to the Docker images on the Docker hub.

How to use Docker for ECCo SP

Sandbox Environment

ECCoSP Sandbox environment has been created to provide an easy way to try out the ECCoSP platform. You can explore ECCoSP features in the sandbox and get a first-hand experience of its capabilities. With the ECCoSP Sandbox, you can experiment with the different features and even try out the latest features without having to commit to a full deployment (you still need to install an ECP Endpoint). It can also be used to perform a basic set of smoke tests before installing/upgrading to a new release on your network. So, start exploring and have fun with the ECCoSP Sandbox!

Please contact ecp@entsoe.eu for further information and process to connect your EndPoint to the sandbox environment.

Projects running ECP & EDX

Many Transmission System Operators (TSOs) rely on ECCoSP as the standard for managing messages exchanged between TSOs and market participants. Moreover, a range of projects utilizing ECP and EDX as a pan-European exchange layer. Notable examples encompass the Transparency Platform, Common Grid Model, OPC/STA, and European balancing platforms such as TERRE, MARI, and PICASSO.
