Summary
Currently, there are no clearly defined or standardised categories of work for electricity third-party activities within CoMCoP. This lack of categorisation reduces transparency of company capabilities and scope of work, limits the ability to align accreditation with actual operational activity and restricts the ability to apply targeted, risk-based audit assurance.

19/08/2026 - the Change Report (Proposal Plan) was approved by Change Panel. The Change Team and Performance Assurance team are working together to determine if there are performance assurance requirements for this change.
Summary
An incident where Network Parties did not submit Regulatory Alliances on time to the Central Switching Service (CSS) Provider, or did submit the Regulatory Alliances but did not action rejections from the CSS Provider in a timely manner, led to over 200 Consumers being delayed in Switching to their chosen Energy Supplier. This Change Proposal has been raised to review this process.

Problem Statement
The lack of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) on Network Parties to submit Regulatory Alliances to the CSS Provider or to work any rejections received from the CSS Provider can lead to delays in Consumers being able to Switch to their chosen Energy Supplier.

Summary
Schedule 14 - Metering Operations currently holds obligations for a Meter Operator Agent (MOA) to send a D0383 ‘Notification of Commissioning Information’ to Electricity Suppliers, Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), Data Services and Data Collectors in certain process steps. The D0383 was not shared with these Parties in legacy arrangements, and there is no requirement for it to be sent to facilitate the MHHS arrangements. There are similar requirements to send the D0384 ‘Notification of Commissioning Status’ to these Parties, when it is only required by the Electricity Supplier. These requirements were introduced by the MHHS Design in error and need to be removed.

Problem Statement
Schedule 14 - Metering Operations puts obligations on MOAs which are both not required and impossible to fulfil (as the Scenario Variants to send the D0383 from the MOA to the Electricity Supplier, DNO, Data Service and Data Collector do not exist). There are similar problems for the D0384, which is only required to be sent from the MOA to the Electricity Supplier.

Summary
As part of the planning required to deliver Net Zero, Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs) are obligated to plan Industrial and Commercial (I&C) gas demand at a more granular, site-specific level. To meet this obligation, access to Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code data, matched to both Gas and Electricity Meter Point Reference Numbers, would provide a significantly improved understanding of I&C customers.

Latest Update
07/07/2025 - Change Report (Proposal Plan) has been approved by the REC Change Panel.
Summary
There is gap in the Erroneous Switch (ES) Performance Assurance reporting as the DTN does not provide MPXN level data up front. It requires individual ES permission before MPXNs are provided. However, CSS reporting does provide monthly MPXN level report. As such end-to-end monitoring of the ES process cannot be carried out at a MPXN level.

Problem Statement
The current Erroneous Switch drafting contains inconsistencies that can cause confusion and misunderstanding between Energy Suppliers regarding the applicable governance and process requirements, creating ambiguity around the correct contractual and operational framework. In addition, the I0237 Working Group has identified further required amendments to Schedule 30, highlighting that the existing drafting does not fully or accurately reflect intended process arrangements or correct terminology.

Summary
The creation of Import Metering Points for new Premises sits with the Distribution Network Operator (DNO), while the Export Metering Points generally sit with the Electricity Supplier. When the DNO approves the G98 Engineering Recommendation Installation Document (Form B) or G99 Engineering Recommendation Installation Document (Form A3-1 or A3-2) under the Distribution Code, they could create Export Metering Points at this time (with the logical Disconnection process being available for any Export Metering Points that are then not required).

Problem Statement
The information required by the DNO to create an Export Metering Point sits with the Consumer rather than the Electricity Supplier, and leads to the Electricity Supplier acting as an unnecessary third party in the process. This is leading to unnecessary time being added to the process, negatively impacting Consumers and the journey to Net Zero. This is particularly apparent for large new housing developments, which may have several tens of thousands of Export Metering Points to create with the same DNO and require the use of the Bulk Request process. This process is cumbersome and has no two DNOs operating the process in the same way.
