Problem Statement
The PARC currently does not capture all the data items required to support the monitoring of Retail Risks following Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement go-live. An update to the PARC is required to include the data items that will ensure the Code Manager can provide the assurance the industry requires during transition and under the new MHHS arrangements.

Summary
This change puts the STIRG document under bespoke voting arrangements, where unanimous approval is required from the Network Operator and Metering Equipment Manager (MEM) representatives that are directly affected by the document (e.g. the DNO and electricity MEM). This puts the document back under very similar arrangements as it was under MOCoPA, which all Parties agree worked. Version 2 of the legal text is now available with adjusts made from the previous consultation.

This Change Proposal was implemented on 27 March 2026.
Summary
There is currently a tool utilised by DNOs to manually correct registration data to align the Registered Supplier in ERDS with the data held in CSS. The Market-Wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) Design does not allow for retrospective amendment of Supplier Registration i.e. there is no equivalent tool for manual correction post MHHS go live (M10). Therefore, post MHHS implementation, any issues which prevent CSS data being reflected in ERDS cannot be corrected. This will prevent the Supplier from appointing agents and will lead to errors in settlement data under the BSC. A change is required to address this.

Problem Statement
There are instances where ERDS (and SMRS under BSC governance) can be misaligned with the CSS and under the MHHS arrangements there is no mechanism for manual correction which there is in place today. From MHHS go live the Supplier will not be able to appoint their preferred agents. This issue only applies to MHHS Migrated Metering Points as the existing mechanism for manually correcting data would be used if the issue related to a non-migrated Metering Point. In the event that the Supplier cannot appoint its agents, this may prevent the Supplier from accurately billing the Consumer. The potential impact will increase as MHHS Migration continues, with more MHHS Metering Points potentially impacted by any CSS / ERDS discrepancy.

Latest Update
13/05/2026 - The REC Code Manager is establishing a new REC working group to support the progression of I0200 – Review of the REC’s Address Management Service. If you would like to attend the I0200 Working Group, please register your interest by contacting the Code Manager at change.management@recmanager.co.uk. The first meeting will take place in June 2026, with the exact date and time to be confirmed in due course and communicated via the REC Change Bulletin and via email to all those who register their interest.
Summary
Having the incorrect address can lead to a range of Consumer issues, including switching, billing and meter reading problems. The Meter Point Location (MPL) and Retail Energy Location (REL) have been added to the Code to resolve this issue. Whilst there had been progress resolving address data issues, there is not currently a mechanism to establish Code level targets for address improvement, resulting in around 2.8 million unmatched addresses.

Problem Statement
Work conducted by RPA has identified a significant number of mismatches between gas Data Items held by key stakeholders. This may result in Consumer detriment, as information relevant to an MPRN may not be held accurately by any given Party. As such, there is a need to review processes pertaining to the communication of gas data by MAMs onward to the CDSP to mitigate the potential for mismatches.

10/06/2026 - The Code Manager, following an approval to an Update to Plan by the REC Metering Expert Panel, has placed I0197 on hold.
Summary
Some customers have had faulty meters for a prolonged period, which impacts billing and settlement, and can prevent customers accessing specific tariffs. Currently the REC only has obligations relating to electricity meter faults, and these do not actually require work to be done to address faults. This issues proposes the introduction a maximum timeframe Fault Resolution deadline to resolve issues around faulty meters.

This Change Proposal has been implemented as part of the February 2026 REC Release.
Summary
Studies conducted by the REC Performance Assurance (RPA) function of the REC Code Manager have concluded that gas market data fidelity may be improved by reducing the frequency of missed messages between Metering Asset Managers and other REC Parties. This Issue seeks to explore mechanisms by which a reduction in the number of permissible communication methods used by MAMs could support the data quality improvement objective.

Problem Statement
MAMs communicate with each other, and with other parties, using up to three possible methods as they send Market Messages in line with their obligations in the REC. It has been suggested that moving to a single communication method might help mitigate gas data quality issues. This Issue seeks to explore an interim solution to facilitate this.

Problem Statement
Suppliers who do not operate, or intend to operate, in the Smart or Unmetered Market Segments, will be seeking exemptions from the relevant MHHS Qualification requirements. At present, there is no mechanism in CSS to prevent Suppliers from registering Metering Points for which an exemption has been granted and for which they are therefore not qualified.
