Summary
Since REC go-live in September 2021, Enquiry Service Providers have operated the Enquiry Services processes as effectively as possible, however, overtime gaps have emerged and opportunities to improve have been identified. There have been an increasing number of access requests for market roles that are not reflected in Schedule 12 or the Data Access Matrix (DAM). As a result, it has become apparent there are restrictions on the access to data, and the granting of access to such users can be slow and time consuming. Given the market roles are too narrow at present, this will become increasingly problematic as they do not reflect market roles that could exist in 10 year’s time for example. There is a need to therefore limit ambiguity and reduce number of use cases where judgement is required. This CP will take forward the review of Schedule 12 and any identified changes.

Problem Statement
Organisations with valid use cases for REC data access must raise a Change Proposal as they are not listed within Schedule 12 or the Data Access Matrix. This is a time-consuming process which delays the implementation of the required access and does not promote innovation, competition, and positive Consumer outcomes.

Summary
This change has been raised by Ofgem to make updates to CSS reports provided by the Switching Operator; for these be provided on a weekly basis and be designed in such a way that only genuine Switches between Suppliers are reported. At present the latter is not possible as all switches at MPID level are reported with no indication of switching flows.

Summary
It has been identified that gaps or misaligned references were transferred into the REC Data Specification at REC go-live. This Change Proposal seeks to fill these gaps and provide clarification for Parties. This will enable Parties to self-serve and reduce the risk of ambiguities in the current Data Specification resulting in incorrectly defined Market Messages. This change will update relevant legal text in the REC Data Specification to provide clarification and alignment from previous legacy documents to Parties. This will ensure existing Parties have a consistent understanding and new entrants are able to set up their systems appropriately.

There is a risk that the current ambiguities in the Data Specification could make it challenging for Parties to follow the Data Specification and result in Market Messages being sent that do not correctly reflect the rules of the Data Specification.

Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer, I want my Supplier to be able to access essential information about my energy account, so that billing issues and switching problems can be addressed easily.
- As a Registered Gas Supplier, I want to be able to readily access appropriate information relating to my RMP portfolio, so that I can resolve consumer facing billing issues more easily. As the GES Provider, I want my users to be able to access information that helps them fulfil their objectives (in line with REC Data Access principles), so that the service is used as efficiently as possible.

Problem Statement
When Registered Gas Suppliers need to resolve queries relating to meter reading history, they may need to access information that is currently only available to the Registered Shipper in GES. As a result, Registered Gas Suppliers may be unable to resolve these consumer facing issues on their own, as they do not have direct access to the required Registered Shipper only information.

Latest Update
19.09.2023 - approved for implementation in February 2024 Release
Summary
In order for central systems testing (including maintenance and emergency testing) to be undertaken by the Switching Operator, certificates from the SDSPs and CSS User communities are required to interact with CSS in the testing environments. The Switching Operator was able to issue certs to the simulator provider during the Switching Programme, but the replacement process via Service Now no longer allows this – instead placing onerous activity on Parties to collaborate with the Switching Operator to give them the ability to request certificates on their behalf. This change has been raised to ensure that test certificates are held at all times for enough parties to enable changes to be tested with enough simulation to replicate live operational scenarios. The solution proposed is that the Switching Operator can nominate Technical Contacts (TC) for all CSS Users, in order that certificates can be requested for simulators in the test environments. CSS Users would continue to be able to nominate / remove their own TCs as now (and be able to remove the Switching Operator-nominated Technical Contact), and would see all TCs listed on the Switching Portal.

Problem Statement
Due to certificate expiry, there are not currently sufficient test security certificates for connecting to CSS test environments and emulating CSS Users (simulators). The current process for CSS Users to request certificates is inefficient and is reliant on the CSS Users obtaining new certificates in a timely manner. Without sufficient test certificates, the Switching Operator may not be able to fully test changes to the CSS system.

Summary
REC Parties have started to prepare for the release and implementation of R0032, during this preparation the REC Code Manager has received questions about the approved solution, specifically regarding the version of the D0312 (MM00256) Market Message (version 002 has been maintained through R0032) and the number of register digits that should be provided for specific meter types. The Code Manager has reviewed these questions and determined changes are required to the approved solution. Therefore, this Change Proposal has been raised to progress changes to the approved solution.

Proposed solution summary
- As a premise owner I want to be able to contract with a Safe Isolator Provider (SIP), and for the SIP to be able to provide the service in a fully compliant manner.
- As a REC MEM who wants to operate as SIP, I need clarity on the solution and Market Message requirements when I provide Safe Isolation Works to Premise Owners. As a Registered Supplier, I need clarity on the solution and Market Message requirements when my consumers have Safe Isolation Works completed at their Premise Owners by SIPs.
- As a Distribution Network Operator, I need clarity on the solution and Market Message requirements when my connected parties have Safe Isolation Works completed at their Premise Owners by SIPs.

Problem Statement
Where a Consumer initiates a Switch through a Supplier, PCW or TPI that utilises the EES API address searches can fail as the API only undertakes “fuzzy” matching. Address Search errors will then need to go through an exception handling process creating an inefficiency and producing a loss of confidence in the Switching process.
