Summary
Following a comprehensive review, the Code Manager has identified functionality improvements with the SDEP system. These will introduce useability improvements to the system, to allow users to better filter workflow and queries and to improve notifications received by Parties, to enable resolution of raised issues. Feedback from SDEP users stated that filtering options are limited to particular attributes and notification emails contain minimal supportive information for the parent communication.

Latest Update
08/11/2024 - This Change Proposal has been implemented as part of the November 2024 REC Release.
Summary
Annulments are defined in the interpretations schedule as: Annulled means that a Registration has been annulled by the Losing Supplier pursuant to an Annulment Request. “Annulment” and similar expressions shall be interpreted accordingly. Annulment Request means the Registration Service Request from the Losing Supplier to terminate the progress of a Registration in accordance with Paragraph 10 of the Registration Services Schedule. The Registration Services Schedule does not define an annulment but sets out in para 10: A Losing Supplier must only submit an Annulment Request in respect of a Registration where the Losing Supplier is permitted to do so in accordance with its Energy Supply Licence. Unfortunately the Energy Supply Licence does not refer to annulments, making this term not clearly defined. REC Performance Assurance (RPA) have identified Parties using annulments when they should use other processes. The lack of a clear definition of what an annulment is could be a contributing factor to this.

Solution Development
Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer, I want industry systems to contain accurate information on my service so that future works or billing are not impacted.
- As a Metering Equipment Manager, I want to ensure my obligations are clear as to which Market Messages I am required to action and how this should be completed.
Problem Statement
Following the implementation of DCP383, MEMs are receiving Market Messages from the DNO however, there is no process defined within the REC on how to action them and their systems have not been configured to accept and process them. This has led to a backlog within the MEMs gateways and the Data Collector is not being updated on the meter’s new location.
