Proposed solution summary
- As a Domestic Consumer, I want to be able to choose my Energy Supplier and a tariff from a range of competitive options, so that I can take advantage of cheaper deals as they become available.
- As the Authority, I want the necessary changes made to the Retail Energy Code to introduce the MSC obligations, so that the new MSC licence obligations on Energy Suppliers can be effectively discharged by RECCo.
- As RECCo, I want the Retail Energy Code to specify my obligations, governance and charging mechanisms, so that I can effectively discharge obligations imposed by the Authority through the Licence Condition modification.
- As a Domestic Supplier, I want to understand how RECCo will calculate my credits and liabilities and when they will send my invoices/credit notes, so that I can plan to review my invoices/credit notes prior to the receipt of monies owed or payments I make to RECCo or at an appropriate time for my organisation. As a Domestic Supplier, I want to understand how I could dispute an invoice which I do not believe is accurate, so that I am able to raise a dispute/challenge compliantly

Problem Statement
Following the publication of Ofgem’s decision on potential short-term interventions to address risks to consumers from market volatility, the Market Stabilisation Charge will be introduced via the modified Standard Licence Condition 24A and introduced into the REC by Change Proposal R0034. A change is needed to the REC to set out the charging and payment mechanism, and to introduce the necessary governance arrangements to allow these MSC payments to be administered by RECCo.

Proposed solution summary
- As an impacted Market Participant, I want to ensure good quality underlying data is available to support the transition to HH Settlements to avoid additional time and effort being spent fixing data quality issues during the migration period.
- As the MHHS Programme, I want Registration Data Items to be available ahead of the MHHS migration to enable data cleanse activity to be completed to address data quality issues.

Problem Statement
There are Registration Service Data Items that are critical to the MHHS rules and processes. The MHHS Programme is concerned that starting migration in October 2024 with poor underlying data quality would lead to avoidable time and effort being spent fixing issues during the 12-month migration period. To facilitate MHHS Programme data cleanse activity, prior to the transition to Half Hourly Settlement, Registration Service Data Items need to be introduced into the existing Supplier Meter Registration Service (SMRS) system and displayed in EES.

Proposed solution summary
- As the REC Code Manager, I want to ensure that REC Service Providers achieve their Service Level Agreements (SLAs) defined in REC Service Definitions, so that impacts to the REC Code Manager, REC Parties and other Service Providers, as a consequence of Service Provider underperformance, are minimised and the change process delivers to time and cost.
- As a Service Provider, I want clarity on when and how Performance Charges will be used as part of the Performance Assurance Techniques, so that I’m clear on what service levels I need to meet and the consequences of not delivering against these.

Problem Statement
Service Provider performance measures and charges do not currently exist for services that are not procured by the Retail Energy Code Company but are provided by other Parties. The performance of Service Providers is essential to the proper functioning of the market, without appropriate performance measure or Performance Charges there is little incentive for these providers to maintain service performance or improve poor performance in a timely manner.

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
BSC CP1532 proposed updates to the Change of Supply (CoS) timescales within BSC Procedures BSCP502, BSCP504 and BSCP514, to align the Half-Hourly and Non-Half Hourly Supplier Agent Appointment and de-Appointment timescales and to facilitate the achievement of the Faster Switching programme objectives. BSC CP1532 was approved on 01 September 2021 by the Supplier Volume Allocation Group (SVG). Following the SVG’s decision to approve, BSCP514 moved to the Retail Energy Code (REC) following the implementation of P420 ‘Retail Code Consolidation Significant Code Review’. A REC Change Proposal is therefore required to deliver the full solution.

Proposed solution summary
- As an electricity consumer with an Advanced Meter, I want my usage data to be accessed remotely from my meter, to reduce the need for on-site visits and ensure that I receive timely and accurate bills.
- As the Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) Programme I want to see an effective, early migration of NHH settled Advanced Meters to HH settled, to reduce the risk of missed migration deadlines and ensuring sufficient time to resolve ‘problem’ sites ahead of the MHHS migration deadline.
- As an Energy Supplier I want to obtain usage remotely, reducing the need for on-site metering reading activity, enabling me to settle and bill accurately. As a Metering Equipment Manager (MEM), I need to understand any changes to obligations that may impact my business, so I can engage in the change process and plan any required changes to my systems, processes and organisation.

Problem Statement
The Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) is seeking to mandate the Half-Hourly Settlement of Advanced Meters ahead of the transition to Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement. In order to support this transition, these meters will need to support remote communications to allow half hourly consumption data to be collected. There is currently no explicit requirement for Energy Suppliers and/or Metering Equipment Managers to ensure these meters have working remote communications, which could impact the successful migration of these meters to the new arrangements.

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.

Solution Development
Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer I want to be able to access aggregation services so that I can take full advantage of commercial opportunities for my onsite generation or demand reduction.
- As Market Participant, I need to understand any changes to Market Messages I send and receive that may impact my business, so I can engage in the change process and plan any required changes to my systems and processes.
- As an Asset Metering Virtual Lead Party, I need to be recognised as a valid Market Data Service, so that I can appoint BSC Qualified Agents and fulfil relevant metering operations and data collection activities for Asset Metering.

Problem Statement
BSC Modification P375 will be implemented on 30th June 2022 and introduces a new role of Asset Metering Virtual Lead Party (AMVLP), to allow settlement of meters ‘behind the boundary point’. To enable this, the AMVLP will need to exchange Market Messages with other Market Participants that underpin the new process being introduced by the BSC. Some of these Market Messages are governed by the REC and require a consequential REC Change Proposal to deliver the full solution.
