Summary
CSS Market Messages sent by the Central Switching Service (CSS) to Switching Data Service Providers (SDSP) are either not being received, being received after Gate Closure, or are being received out of the order that they were originally sent in. This Change Proposal seeks to introduce a refresh functionality to mitigate these issues.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer, I want the Switching process to work successfully, so that I can switch Energy Supplier without delays or issues.
  2. As the CSS Provider I want the messages I send to SDSPs to be received and processed successfully, so that there is no interruption to the Switching process or the Consumers’ Switching experience. As the CSS Provider, I want the functionality to be available for SDSPs to automatically resolve issues when messages are not received in the correct order or are received after Gate Closure, so that this work does not have to be done manually.
  3. As an SDSP, I want to be able to detect when I have not received the expected CSS messages, so that I am able to request that the missing messages are sent to me to process. As an SDSP I want to be able to request a refresh of CSS messages when they are not received in the correct order or they are received after Gate Closure, so that I am able to maintain an accurate reflection of the current Switch status and minimise impacts on CSS Users and Consumers.

Problem Statement
CSS messages not received by the SDSPs in the order they were sent or received, or after Gate Closure, can be difficult to detect and often require significant manual effort to resolve. This issue can directly impact Consumer switching experiences causing disruption and possible delays.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As an Energy Consumer, I want my VLP to have access to the data needed to correctly register me in a timely manner, so there aren’t delays in the delivery of my service.
  2. As a VLP, I want to have access to all the data I need to register my customers so I can deliver the service they have requested, without delay.
  3. As a VLP, I want to be able to use the EES to find the MPAN of a customer using their address information, to enable me to reliably gather this data to without delay or further engagement with my customer.

Problem Statement
VLPs are required to provide their customer’s MPAN as part of the registration process, as per the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC). VLPs do not currently have access to the EES to enable an MPAN search and they have no reliable means to acquire the MPAN, other than asking their customer to provide it. This could potentially lead to delays in the registration process and may result in an increased risk of inaccurate data, detrimentally impacting the service VLPs are able to provide to their customers.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As an Electricity Consumer, I want data associated with my electricity supply to be made consistently available to Market Participants relevant organisations, so that they have equal access to the data they use to supply my electricity or look after my meter.
  2. As an EES User, I want to have access to all the data items appropriate to my EES User Category so that I can operate processes without disruption, to provide a good service to my customers and meet my performance targets. As the EES Provider I want to have clarity on the data items that I should provide to EES Users appropriate to their role. As the Code Manager I want Market Participants to have access to appropriate data in EES so they can complete business processes and meet performance targets, while ensuring access to data is subject to appropriate security and controls.

Problem Statement
There is currently a lack of clarity regarding the data items that should be accessible by each EES User Category and there are potentially instances where data restrictions have been placed on EES Users which cannot be justified. The Data Access Matrix does not currently provide a single standardised role-based framework for EES Users’ access to data. This means that the Code Manager and the EES Provider cannot grant and provide EES Users with standardised access for a particular role. This may also result in operational issues for new entrants or can create a situation whereby EES Users in the same role have different access arrangements.

Problem Statement
The implementation of REC V2, as part of the Retail Code Consolidation SCR, was due to consolidate the existing provisions in other codes into the REC on a like-for-like basis. The Code Manager has identified that there were changes made to previous codes that weren’t reflected in the REC V2 drafting that was implemented. This means that the current processes being operated by industry parties are not reflected in the REC. REC Party's and Service Providers rely on the REC to provide a consistent baseline to ensure the industry operate in an effective and interoperable way. There are currently inconsistencies between the drafting of the REC, and the processes operated by REC Party's and Service Providers, which could cause issues in the effective operation and assurance of the retail energy market.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a consumer, I want to ensure the data held by my supplier and other industry parties is correct so that I receive accurate and timely bills so that I understand what I need to pay and by when with no surprises.
  2. As a consumer, I want to be able to switch my energy supply without experiencing significant delays whilst my new and old supplier resolve any issues. So that I can see the benefits of switching at the earliest opportunity.
  3. As an SDEP User, I want to be able to automate processes that use the SDEP, so I can meet my obligations as efficiently and effectively as possible. As an EES or SDES User, I want to be able to automate certain user maintenance requests, so I can manage user maintenance activities as efficiently as possible.

Problem Statement
It is not possible to automate the sending and receiving messages through the SDEP. It is also not possible to manage Authorised Person’s permissions in the EES and SDES in bulk where there is a high volume of changes required. This requires processes to be managed manually by an Authorised Person and doesn’t allow EES and SDES Users to identify more efficient ways of working.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a consumer, I want issues affecting me or my energy account to be resolved at the earliest opportunity, to minimise impacts to my energy switch or accurate and timely billing.
  2. As a SDEP Authorised Person with the responsibility for message allocation, I want to efficiently assign multiple messages in one transaction to an Authorised Person, to remove the need to manual assign them one by one.
  3. As a SDEP Authorised Person with the responsibility for message allocation, I want to be able to filter messages to identify messages requiring action. This will ensure messages are picked up promptly and resolved within the agreed Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Problem Statement
Currently in the SDEP there is no way to assign/unassign multiple messages to Authorised Persons in one action, this makes the allocation of messages inefficient. Each message must be individually opened before it can be assigned/unassigned. Not having clarity on the status of messages, or the ability to assign multiple messages to an Authorised Person as one action, may result in the allocation of queries being delayed, potentially impacting response times for queries and escalations. Any delays in resolving those queries could have a detrimental impact on the customer’s experience. There is also limited methods of effectively identifying and being able to filter messages requiring action on the home screen. This effects the Authorised Person’s ability to promptly allocate and resolve messages within the agreed Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a consumer, I want to my queries to be resolved in a timely manner by advisers with access to relevant information, so that I receive accurate and timely bills.
  2. As an EES User (an organisation): I want to receive reports of Meter Point Limit Breaches in the absence of the MAU, to enable the analysis of EES usage and to enable limit breaches to be identified and responded to. I also want all approved people to have access to the EES in a timely manner following the introduction of a new email domain, so that the EES can be used to support with issue and query resolution.
  3. As an MAU, I want email domain changes to be validated in my absence, to avoid delays to new users being set up with EES access.
Problem Statement
Where an MAU is not available, and MAU responsibilities within EES have not been transferred, the functions and information only available to this role cannot be accessed by the organisation. This has the potential to impact an organisations operational effectiveness.
