Problem Statement
SEC Modification Proposal 077 proposes to update the values, and business rules, of the DCC Service Flag Data Item. This will allow users to use the Data Item as originally intended, to establish whether there is an active smart meter in the DCC network that they can communicate with at a premises. This modification has been approved for implementation on 4th November 2021 by the SEC, and a consequential change is required to the Data Specification to reflect this.
Proposed solution summary
  1. As an Energy Consumer, I want my Energy Supplier to know the status of my smart meter, so they can bill me accurately using remote smart data.
  2. As an Energy Supplier, I need to establish whether there is a smart meter I can communicate with in the DCC network, so I can complete the correct process for customers switching supplier.
  3. As a Distribution Network Operator, I need to establish whether there is a smart meter I can communicate with in the DCC network, so I know whether to respond to smart meter alerts.
