Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer, I want industry systems to contain accurate information on my service so that future works or billing are not impacted.
  2. 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.

Problem Statement
Where a Consumer initiates a Switch through a Supplier, PCW or TPI that utilises the EES API address searches can fail as the API only undertakes “fuzzy” matching. Address Search errors will then need to go through an exception handling process creating an inefficiency and producing a loss of confidence in the Switching process.

Problem Statement
The implementation of Change Proposal R0044, will result in the Central Switching Service (CSS) providing an asynchronous response to the Electricity Retail Data Service (ERDS) upon a successful, or unsuccessful Smart Meter Data Retriever (SMDR) appointment within the SMDSP. This will significantly increase the volume of CSS messages, as there is currently no mechanism for the CSS to recognise when a response is required. The increased volume could have a significant impact on central system performance.

Latest Update
10/04/2026 - Change has been taken of hold. This change will be triggered for a reassessment for Code Manager Impact on 14/04/2026.
Summary
When Meter Point Administration Numbers (MPANs) are erroneously disconnected, they cannot be reinstated. As a result, Consumers suffer billing issues and Registered Suppliers cannot settle against the disconnected MPAN. This change seeks to introduce a mechanism to restore erroneously disconnected MPANs.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer, I do not want the erroneous disconnection of my MPAN to affect the continuity of my supply contract and billing arrangements.
  2. As a DNO, I want to be able to reverse erroneous disconnections with no lasting effect so that I don’t need to create a new MPAN to resolve the issue, thereby avoiding DUoS payment collection issues. 2 - As a Supplier, I want to be able to reverse erroneous disconnections with no lasting effect so that I can correctly bill my consumers. 3 - As the CSS, I want users to be able to effectively resolve discrepancies, so that industry data for their portfolio is accurate. 4 - As MPRS, I want users to be able to effectively resolve discrepancies, so that industry data for their portfolio is accurate.
Problem Statement
When MPANs are incorrectly identified and targeted for disconnection, the RMP will be erroneously terminated following receipt of Termination Market Messages by the CSS. This process is irreversible once triggered, meaning that there is no mechanism to restore the MPAN as it was previously. This results in a poor Consumer experience, and settlement misbalancing for Registered Suppliers. Currently, there is no mechanism to mitigate the negative impact on Registered Suppliers/DNO and Consumers.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As an Electricity Consumer, I want the migration of my MPAN to the new HH Settlement arrangements to be as smooth as possible, so that the service I receive from my Electricity Supplier or it’s appointed agents is not interrupted As an Electricity Consumer, I want my ability to switch to be impacted as little as possible by MHHS migration activities
  2. As the Switching Operator, I want to be prepared for the increased volumes expected during the MHHS Migration Period. As the ERDS Provider, I want the CSS to be able to manage the volume of messages being sent so that I can provide the service I am required to during the MHHS Migration Period
  3. As an Electricity Supplier, I want the MPANs I select to the new HH Settlement arrangements to complete their migration without undue delay, so that the service I provide to Consumers is impacted as little as possible and so that I can meet my migration obligations As a MEM, as part of migration I want my new appointment and my legacy de-appointment to occur within the planned timescales so that the services I provide are impacted as little as possible As a Data Service, as part of migration, I want my new appointment to occur within the planned timescales so that the services I provide can commence in a timely manner As a Data Collector, I want my legacy de-appointment to occur within the planned timescales so that I have a clear understanding and smooth ending to the service I provide

Problem Statement
As part of the MHHS programme, it is necessary to migrate approximately 31 million MPANs from the existing settlement arrangements to those under the MHHS Target Operating Model. This will create a significantly increased volume of messages, whether for Switches or changes to Supplier Agents, for the CSS during the MHHS Migration Period. The CSS Service Definition does not currently require the Switching Operator to be capable of processing these additional volumes.
