Latest Update
26/08/2025 - Update to Proposal Plan published. This will be presented to the REC Change Panel at their meeting on 02 September 2025.
Summary
Non dual-fuel Consumers who register upon the PSR, will have their PSR data flow across energy industry data flows to mean that all parties are aware of any PSR Needs Codes, allowing us all to provide equal access to our services and support. This will be achieved via the utilisation of existing processes and systems. Initially a pilot will take place for a minimum of 3 months between participating companies before extending this to the whole industry”.

Problem Statement
The majority of domestic customers in the UK are what are called in the industry ‘dual-fuel’ - this means that with two types of energy (electricity & gas) a domestic dwelling has a single supplier ie they pay their bill to one organisation. This ‘dual-fuel’ position has supported the industry improvements to Priority Services Register (PSR) data flows by allowing previous divides to be overstepped in terms of data flows between energy types. There is however a problem which this RECC request aims to resolve. That is, where a customer who has both fuel types, also has two suppliers and they want to register upon the PSR. This was always a ‘known’ gap shared with our regulator when the many improvements were implemented across the PSR and considered to be something that would be addressed at a later date. This ‘gap’ means that without the dual-fuel link, currently data flows do not complete across energy types via the supplier data flow triggers.

08/08/2024 - the Proposer has withdrawn this Change Proposal.
Summary
RECCo is tasked with fulfilling several obligations. This proposal has been raised to amend some of the wording within the REC, which would benefit from reassessment. When the REC was originally drafted, references to RECCo in the code were originally intended to refer to the activities directly managed and overseen by the REC Board, and were considered separately to activities managed by the Code Manager.

Summary
Since REC go-live in September 2021, Enquiry Service Providers have operated the Enquiry Services processes as effectively as possible, however, overtime gaps have emerged and opportunities to improve have been identified. There have been an increasing number of access requests for market roles that are not reflected in Schedule 12 or the Data Access Matrix (DAM). As a result, it has become apparent there are restrictions on the access to data, and the granting of access to such users can be slow and time consuming. Given the market roles are too narrow at present, this will become increasingly problematic as they do not reflect market roles that could exist in 10 year’s time for example. There is a need to therefore limit ambiguity and reduce number of use cases where judgement is required. This CP will take forward the review of Schedule 12 and any identified changes.

Problem Statement
Organisations with valid use cases for REC data access must raise a Change Proposal as they are not listed within Schedule 12 or the Data Access Matrix. This is a time-consuming process which delays the implementation of the required access and does not promote innovation, competition, and positive Consumer outcomes.
