On July 23, 2001, the New York Public Service Commission issued Opinion 01-03, approving policies and data standards for the implementation of electronic data interchange (EDI) in New York State to support customer retail access.

This Web site will serve as a central location for ESCO/Marketers to obtain information about implementation of EDI in Orange & Rockland's service territory. Upon implementation of EDI transactions at O&R, all ESCO/Marketers participating in O&R's service territory must be EDI certified by O&R by completing Phase III EDI testing. Testing activities include the exchange of connectivity information, submission by the ESCO of a Statement of EDI Readiness, Connectivity testing and transaction set testing. These activities are detailed in the links below.
