Are there any fees for database queries (levels 1 and 2)?

  • Feasibility evaluations of ENETS DB level 1 – no fee will be charged
  • Studies and queries of ENETS DB level 2 by data reporter:
    • No fee will be charged if the data reporter query can be completed by authorised ENETS staff
    • If KKS or other external support is required, a fee will be charged/a budget must be set up.
