Summary
e-POWER would like to be granted access to EES to be able to gain metering information for their sites such as MOP/DC/DA details, which ease the metering and billing issues they face on a weekly/monthly basis. Access is needed for a few different scenarios, one being if a new site has commissioned and a consultant was appointed by the generator to get site commissioned, the generator doesn’t necessarily know who their MOP agreement is with and there could be 2 MOP agreements with 2 separate parties. As the same supplier must be appointed for export and import, having access would allow e- POWER to be more proactive in this case and reduce the delay in resolving registration issues encountered by the supplier prior to PPA start date and billing & settlements. When the e-POWER auctions conclude, they send the successful buyer registration details containing metering information to allow them to register the export MPAN, they currently do not have access to LIVE accurate information. They have around 200 renewable generators so using EES as a third-party Intermediate would be on a small case basis.

Latest Update
This Change Proposal was implemented as part of the 7 November 2025 REC Release.
Summary
The Switch Meter Reading Problems processes do not appropriately describe the use of rejections. This inhibits Parties from operating the process as intended and may cause unnecessary delay to the production of an accurate and agreed Switching Meter Reading. Additionally, the Performance Assurance Reporting Catalogue (PARC) is missing key data items to allow Performance Assurance to more accurately assure Party performance against Risk Drivers 5.6 and 5.8. Rejection reasons do not appear to be being reviewed, nor are they understood to be end statuses for the process.

Problem Statement
Suppliers may interact with the Missing Switch Read process in a way that is operationally standard for them, but not reflected in the Code. This means that the D0300 or SAR may either be escalated unnecessarily (including Performance Assurance checks), or may not be responded to, whilst still resolving the overall issue.

Summary
Retail Risk Register The Code Manager has undertaken the annual review of the Retail Risk Register. During the previous cycle, the consultation feedback suggested there is an opportunity to simplify how information is presented for ease of reference. The Code Manager has taken this feedback onboard and reconsidered how the document is structured with readability and accessibility in mind. Therefore, this version of the Retail Risk Register has undergone significant change in terms of layout. Additionally, we have carried out an exercise to capture macro level risks across the REC landscape which then drill down into specific Code Process or Service Performance risks where applicable. To ensure REC stakeholders have a single view of Retail Risk, which part of the Code they relate to and also what activities the PAB and/or the Code Manager is undertaking to monitor or manage them, we have added more information within the main page of the Risk Register. This document was presented to PAB on 24 September 2024 and has been approved subject to an industry consultation. POAP The Code Manager prepares an annual operating plan setting out the techniques it intends to apply to manage Retail Risks identified within the Retail Risk Register. This plan, referred to as the Performance Assurance Operating Plan (PAOP), sets out the Performance Assurance priorities and is approved and tracked by the PAB. The current updates set out the Performance Assurance Operating Plan for 2024-25

Summary
Through a number of Technical Change Workshops, it was identified that different messages within the CSS design had different capitalisation requirements for the word MPID. In particular, it was highlighted that ‘mpId’ contains upper case ‘I’ for the ‘mpId’ in the ‘Supplier Arranged Appointment Update Notification’ message which differed to other message requirements within the CSS. Investigation by the CSS Provider has confirmed that this is the correct configuration of the system, and it was agreed that the solution would be to provide an explanation within the PhiD of the capitalisation requirements. The document has been updated by the CSS Provider to reflect this clarification and has been shared within TCW attendees for review, the members were happy with the updates.
