Problem Statement
REC Service Users are required to submit Maintenance of Qualification Annual Statements to the Code Manager, the requirements differ depending on the User category. The lack of clear obligations for REC Service Users surrounding the Maintenance of Qualification reporting, set out in Schedule 9 – Qualification and Maintenance results in missing or partially completed submissions. Considerable time is spent by the Code Manager requesting and following up on individual submissions.

Problem Statement
The ETTOS Service Provider, will be decommissioning their onsite servers on 31 January 2022. Consequently, the ETTOS web portal will no longer be used to provide the ETTOS Service Data (tip-off reports) to ETTOS Recipients. Instead, reports will be sent directly to ETTOS Recipients via encrypted emails. Updates are required to the REC to reflect the changes to the ETTOS report dissemination process.

Problem Statement
The implementation of REC V2, as part of the Retail Code Consolidation SCR, was due to consolidate the existing provisions in other codes into the REC on a like-for-like basis. The Code Manager has identified that there were changes made to previous codes that weren’t reflected in the REC V2 drafting that was implemented. This means that the current processes being operated by industry parties are not reflected in the REC. REC Party's and Service Providers rely on the REC to provide a consistent baseline to ensure the industry operate in an effective and interoperable way. There are currently inconsistencies between the drafting of the REC, and the processes operated by REC Party's and Service Providers, which could cause issues in the effective operation and assurance of the retail energy market.
