Amendment to Multiplication Factor Enumerations to Support Hydrogen Trials
Summary
The H100 hydrogen gas trial involves the supply of hydrogen gas to households in place of natural gas. The quantity of gas supplies needs to be billed in a way that is comparable to standard gas supply. To facilitate the trial, a multiplication factor enumeration value must be established within the Data Specification that can replicate hydrogen’s calorific value, therefore allowing accurate billing.

Problem Statement
In order for the H100 gas trial to be successful, a billable value for hydrogen gas needs to be accurately calculated from supplied physical volumes. To do this, relevant Data Items (relating to the calculation of billable gas volumes) within the Data Specification need to be updated to allow a new value for the multiplication factor. This change seeks to introduce a new enumeration value for the multiplication factor needed to facilitate the addition of this new value.
Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer taking part in the H100 trial, I want to be charged based on the amount of gas I consume, such that I am not charged more than I would have been, had I consumed the equivalent energy from natural gas.
- As a Gas Supplier, I want to ensure H100 trial Consumers, are not charged more than they would have been, had they consumed the equivalent energy from natural gas. 2- As a Gas Transporter, I want to accurately know how much hydrogen gas is being offtaken, so that I can support Suppliers. 3- As the Central Data Service Provider (CDSP), I want Market Messages relating to meter asset information to be accurate, so that I am better able to support dependant REC Parties. 4- As a Meter Equipment Manager (MEM), I want my metering assets compatible with the H100 trial to be underpinned by accurate Market Messages, so that I able to manage these meters correctly.
