In many areas power supply companies use email, Internet portals and different forms of electronic information transmission for communication with suppliers, customers, authorities and market partners. With the introduction of GPKE¹ and GeLi-Gas² procedures the volume of the communication of highly sensitive customer and consumption data will once again increase enormously. Security-relevant documentation and operating data will also be generated, transmitted and filed to a comparable extent by planners and operators of power supply systems.
