Proposed solution summary
- The BSC Modification P455 Modification proposes to place a requirement on the SVA MOA (MEMs) appointed by the Boundary Point Supplier to rectify any faults found with the sub meters used in the On-Site Aggregation methodology; and to produce and submit the On-Site Aggregation Form to the HHDC. As MEMs (SVA MOAs) are governed under the Retail Energy Code (REC), R0150 is the REC's subsequent change to propose this.

Problem Statement
Under the proposed solution for BSC Modification P455, Consumers will require a Market Participant to oversee the maintenance of their sub-meter, including installations and rectification of metering faults. To ensure this, the REC will need to place a requirement on the MEMs appointed by the boundary point Electricity Supplier to rectify any faults found with the sub-meters used in the On-Site Aggregation.

Summary
1. MHHS Design Artefacts currently available have been reviewed along with REC Code drafting for MHHS to add MHHS considerations. As next steps, the Code Manager will work with the DIP Manager, Electralink and the Registration Services to agree appropriate reporting to monitor Retail Risks. 2. Retail Risk Priority Score has been reviewed and updated. The Priority Score for Retail Risk 9 which looks at performance of REC Services has been increased based on recent market events. 3. Retail Risks and Risk Drivers have been updated to focus on areas of greater impact to consumers and/or to the retail energy market. As a result, we have: a. Removed areas with low volume of processes, where general compliance across the industry has been acceptable, e.g., Green Deal obligations, Meter Point relationship request rejections, to allow Performance Assurance activities to focus on areas of higher risk. b. Removed monitoring of obligations that are governed under other codes but referenced within the REC, e.g., sending the read to the Non-Half Hourly Data Collector (NHHDC) on resolution of Switch Meter Read dispute. c. Added new Risk Drivers focusing on areas that require improvement, e.g., accuracy of MTDs, Switches with Change of Occupier, MEM appointment, Consumer-impacting REC Service issues. d. Replaced Risk Drivers to allow more flexibility in risk monitoring, e.g., objections for domestic versus non-domestic switches. e. Updated Retail Risk and Risk Driver titles to further clarify the obligations covered and/or risk monitored. 4. General housekeeping changes.

This change was implemented as part of the the Extraordinary release on 28 March 2024. *This Change Proposal has no impacts on Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement
Summary
This Change Proposal seeks to introduce the necessary governance and charging arrangements into the Retail Energy Code, to reconcile the impact on Domestic Energy Suppliers of levelling the cost of standing charges to Domestic Consumers paying by means of a Prepayment Meter with those paying by Direct Debit. This proposal is being raised on a contingent basis pending the decision of the Authority on whether to modify the standard conditions of the Gas and Electricity Supply Licences to levelise standing charges. That decision is expected in January 2024. This Change Proposal is being progressed in anticipation of the reconciliation of levelisation costs being administered by the Retail Energy Code Company.

Summary
The H100 hydrogen gas trial involves the supply of hydrogen gas to households in place of natural gas. The quantity of gas supplies needs to be billed in a way that is comparable to standard gas supply. To facilitate the trial, a multiplication factor enumeration value must be established within the Data Specification that can replicate hydrogen’s calorific value, therefore allowing accurate billing.

- As a Consumer taking part in the H100 trial, I want to be charged based on the amount of gas I consume, such that I am not charged more than I would have been, had I consumed the equivalent energy from natural gas.
- As a Gas Supplier, I want to ensure H100 trial Consumers, are not charged more than they would have been, had they consumed the equivalent energy from natural gas. 2- As a Gas Transporter, I want to accurately know how much hydrogen gas is being offtaken, so that I can support Suppliers. 3- As the Central Data Service Provider (CDSP), I want Market Messages relating to meter asset information to be accurate, so that I am better able to support dependant REC Parties. 4- As a Meter Equipment Manager (MEM), I want my metering assets compatible with the H100 trial to be underpinned by accurate Market Messages, so that I able to manage these meters correctly.

Problem Statement
In order for the H100 gas trial to be successful, a billable value for hydrogen gas needs to be accurately calculated from supplied physical volumes. To do this, relevant Data Items (relating to the calculation of billable gas volumes) within the Data Specification need to be updated to allow a new value for the multiplication factor. This change seeks to introduce a new enumeration value for the multiplication factor needed to facilitate the addition of this new value.
