Summary
The Code Manager has identified a typographical error in the approved legal text for the Performance Assurance Report Catalogue (PARC) as part of the implementation of R0149 Prepayment Levelisation. In the PARC drafting, R0147 has specified the Code Manager (RTS) as providing the new data submission report that is part of the R0147 solution. However, RTS will be acting for RECCo in provision of this report and not RTS as the Code Manager.

Summary
Meter Asset Providers (MAPs) can query the Gas Enquiry Service (GES) as part of their billing process to establish the Registered Gas Suppliers of their portfolio of Metering Assets. The reports via which MAPs can query the GES are not currently working exactly as intended due to incorrect wording in the GES Definition; this change seeks to rectify that.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Registered Gas Supplier, I want to receive accurate invoices from MAPs for use of their Metering Assets, so that I am not over or under charged. 2 - As a MAP, I want to be able to access accurate information about my portfolio so that I can be correctly remunerated by Suppliers. 3 - As the GES Provider, I want the reports that I am obligated to provide to be correctly defined, so that I am able to provide accurate data to MAPs regarding their portfolios.

Problem Statement
The GES Service Definition defines two reports that MAPs can use to query the CDSP to find out which Registered Gas Suppliers supply Metering Assets in their portfolio, so that they can bill them. Due to a drafting error in the GES Service Definition, this report is not working as intended, and MAPs are not able to ascertain the Registered Gas Supplier for their entire portfolio. This change seeks to rectify the drafting error and restore the intended functionality of the two reports.

DCC Service Level Agreements for the Switching Incentive Regime (Alternative)

ID

Change Category
Priority
Urgent
No
Latest Update
08/11/2024 - This Change Proposal has been implemented as part of the November 2024 REC Release.
Summary
Requirements for the Central Switching Service (CSS) were identified during the Design, Build and Test Phase of the Ofgem-led Switching Programme as a basis for the procurement of Switching systems. These requirements were later baselined in the REC Service Definitions as Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Following the successful go-live of the CSS, these SLAs merit a review, in order to ensure that they are realistic, given the physical systems design and the actual behaviours of users, compared to the assumptions that were made in the early design phase of the Switching Programme. This Change Proposal has been raised as the vehicle to complete the review and take forward any identified changes

  2. As the REC Code Manager, I want to ensure the CRS Provider has appropriate SLAs set, which incentivises the effective functioning of the Switching Service.
  3. As the CRS Provider, I want to ensure that the appropriate SLAs are in place to incentivise the effective functioning of the Switching Service and if these SLAs are not met by the CRS Provider, the commercial impact is proportionate to the detriment experienced by CSS Users and Consumers.

Problem Statement
Following the introduction of Performance Charges, on 01 April 2023, charges will apply based on the CRS Provider's performance against the defined SLAs. The SLAs were developed based on assumptions made in the early phases of the Switching Programme. The DCC has proposed that these are reviewed, to ensure they are fit for purpose and any Performance Charges applied are proportionate to CSS User detriment and Consumer impact.

Latest Update
This Change Proposal was implemented as part of the 7 November 2025 REC Release.
Summary
The Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN) will be switched off in December 2025 by all telecom companies and will be replaced with an Internet Protocol (IP) digital network. Existing fax machines that are incompatible with new all IP digital networks will become obsolete and no longer capable of meeting Code Communications as prescribed in the REC. All communication methods referencing fax or facsimile will need to be removed and replaced with email (where this is not an existing option), unless an alternative form of communication is needed. Please note: The government have published preparatory guidance which includes migrating to IP-supported technology in advance of the planned decommissioning. UK transition from analogue to digital landlines - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) (“assets, facilities, systems, networks or processes and the essential workers that operate and facilitate them”) which is subdivided into 13 sectors including Energy, are advised to consider how they move to digital alternatives smoothly to avoid unnecessary interruption following the PSTN switch-off.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer, when I become responsible for a new premise, I want to be supplied by the Energy Supplier and/or Tariff of my choice and for this to be completed in a timely manner. As a Consumer, when I become responsible for a new premise, I do not want to be billed for the previous occupier’s usage.
  2. As a TPI I want an efficient CoO process so that I can advise my client of the best Tariffs suitable to their needs. As an Energy Supplier, I want to easily identify genuine CoOs so that transfers are not unduly delayed, and my organisation can focus on genuine exceptions. As an Energy Supplier, I want to easily identify the validity of a CoO, so that the risk of misuse is reduced.
  3. As an Energy Supplier, I want to accurately invoice the correct occupant in the first instance. As REC Performance Assurance, we need a standardised and consistent process for CoO Switches, so that we can undertake performance reviews appropriately, highlighting areas of misuse and applying sanctions where appropriate.

Problem Statement
Non-Domestic Consumers may struggle to quickly and easily update a supplier when they become the new owner/occupier or responsible bill payer for a property. This can include: Inconsistent requests from suppliers for proof they are the new owner/occupier or responsible bill payer; inconsistent time taken to have new billing account set up or new contract agreed with the supplier; inconsistent treatment of request to change supplier (CoO flagged or not flagged, loss request objected to or not objected to); risk of being held responsible for previous owner/occupier or responsible bill payers debt and contract; risk of being put on deemed prices (on assumption these are more expensive than contract terms). Suppliers may struggle to quickly and easily update their billing and contractual records for non-domestic properties. This can include: inconsistent updates from consumer leaving a property; inconsistent updates from consumers taking over a property; inconsistent quality of evidence provided; risk of invalid/fraudulent requests to avoid debt or leave contracts before expiry date. Third Party Intermediaries (TPIs) may struggle to provide non-domestic consumers and suppliers with a service. This can include: different processes for each supplier; different evidence available from each consumer; being stuck in the middle.

Proposed solution summary
  1. 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.
