Summary
Change to update the Electricity Data Access Matrix and Service User Categorisation Document. Due to the one-off nature of the PAFA application and the expectation that other Codes may request bespoke access in future, the Code Manager is proposing that a new category be created. However, that data approvals are dependent on the specific use case and not provisioned in an enduring way. The new category will state TBC against each EES data item in the same way as Research Bodies and Government Departments.

Problem Statement
This Issue was raised by RECCo’s Data Protection Officer who noted that the addition of the extra layer of approval delays the process for Parties in processing this data, and it does not align with similar changes for the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC), where board approval is not required.

This Change Proposal has been implemented as part of the February 2026 REC Release.
Summary
Within MHHS SIT there is a scenario where the LDSO generates a D0139 to the MS for a PPM but the requirement is for the MS to generate a D0179. There is a gap in the D0179 data required and that provided on the D0139. 21.5.1 & 21.5.6 under Schedule 14 states that where the DNO changes the energisation status, within 3 WD of changing the energisation status the DNO will send the D0139 or the D0179(21.5.6) to the MS and then the MS will generate the D0179 to the Supplier(21.5.6). Currently, the LDSO only generates the D0179 to the Supplier but not to the MOP and the only change under MHHS is to add the new variant MSS.
