Gas Pressure and Capacity Information Transparency
Summary
As per Section 13.4.18 of CoMCoP, retrieving gas pressure and capacity information from Transporters via the GT1 process can be time consuming for Energy Suppliers/MAMs and/or Consumers. The process of retrieving this information is inconsistent and service timescales are varied between transporters. Gas pressure and capacity information should be readily available through the Gas Enquiry Service to enable timely processing of site work and requests to enable MAM’s and Suppliers to appropriately service their customers.

Problem Statement
For some Energy Suppliers, MAMs and consumers, retrieving pressure and capacity information via the GT1 process can be time consuming. This is due to elements like response timescales and methods (batch responses vs individual responses) being varied among GTs. This ultimately has a negative impact on customers waiting on site work, such as a new connection, for example.

Gas Pressure and Capacity Information Transparency
As per Section 9.3 of CoMCoP, retrieving gas pressure and capacity information from Transporters via the GT1 process can be time consuming for energy suppliers/MAMs and/or customers going through the new connection process. The process of retrieving this information is inconsistent and service timescales are varied between transporters.
The current process of retrieving gas pressure and capacity information is cumbersome and time consuming and will have negative impacts on a customer awaiting a new connection. Parties can only retrieve one request at a time.
Gas pressure and capacity information should be readily available through the Gas Enquiry Service to enable timely processing of new connection requests to enable MAM’s and Suppliers to appropriately service their customers.
