Proposed solution summary
- As an Energy Consumer, I need Energy Companies to operate consistent processes, to ensure my energy supply is managed efficiently and to retain my trust in the functioning of the energy market.

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.

Summary
The aim of this proposal is to reduce the extra assistance required by Electricity Market Reform (EMR) parties in the invoice validation by updating the backing data within the Market Messages to align to what is being invoiced. The associated Market Messages should be structured and named in line with the actual output of Settlement systems to facilitate validation of Capacity Market (CM) Scheme and the Contracts for Difference (CfD) financial settlement.

Solution Development
Proposed solution summary
- As a Market Participant, I need to be able to validate EMRS invoices and credits without having to request additional supporting data.
- As EMR Settlement Ltd, I need to have an efficient mechanism in place that enables me to provide Market Participants with all the relevant data that they need to validate their invoices and credit notes, to reduce/remove the need for Market Participants to contact the service desk for additional information.

Problem Statement
There is no method for Suppliers and Generators to validate their invoices based on the data currently provided within the relevant Market Messages. Parties are able to request all relevant data from EMRS; however, this is time consuming for Parties, EMRS and LCCC/ESC
