Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer, I want a Metering Equipment Manager to be able to access and validate my site details, ahead of their arrival on site for planned or emergency metering work, so that I do not experience any delays in work being completed and can have continuity of supply.
- As a MEM, I want access to sufficient data for sites where I am not the Appointed MEM, to enable me to complete pre-metering works validations of the site details, so I can undertake these works correctly and safely.
- As a MEM, I want access to data for sites where I am not the Appointed MEM, so I can confirm de-appointments and answer invoice validation queries.

GES Data Access Matrix for R0074
Archive
Off
Problem Statement
At go-live for REC v3.0 the ‘Community View’ access to data in the GES, previously available via the DES under the UNC, was inadvertently removed. MEMs used this data in a number of processes, including validation of site details prior to metering works – particularly for emergency work, and the resolution of invoice queries from Suppliers. Without access to this Enquiry Service Data, MEMs are unable to complete activities that are central to their operations, including checking site details prior to attending emergency metering works. This has the potential to have a direct negative impact on the experience of metering works for Consumers, and in in some cases, continuity of supply and safety could be at risk.

Proposed solution summary
- As the Code Manager I want to be able to progress change to the REC in the most efficient way possible. Where minor, non-material changes are needed to correct typographical or consistency errors, or to update out of date reference, I want a simpler and more accelerated change process to manage these housekeeping activities.
- As a REC Party, I want the Code Manager to use a more efficient process for housekeeping changes, that reduces the burden of managing industry changes through the standard change process.
- As RECCo I want the Code Manager to use the most efficient and simplest process to manage housekeeping changes in order to free up Code Manager resources to progress higher priority changes.

Problem Statement
Typographical errors, formatting, and consistency errors (such as Paragraph numbering), out-of-date references to documents and updating addresses (including email) all have to go through the standard change process. In these cases, the changes are not material and do not need a solution to be developed nor do they need to demonstrate that they meet a business case and could therefore be progressed more quickly.

- As a Consumer, I want data relating to my energy supply to be handled appropriately, so that I can have a consistent and faultless switching experience.
- As the Switching Service Desk, I want to be able to access market data that lets me resolve tickets first time, so that I can provide a more efficient service to users. As the GES Provider, I want my users to be able to access information that helps them fulfil their objectives, so that the service is used as efficiently as possible. As the EES Provider, I want my users to be able to access information that helps them fulfil their objectives, so that the service is used as efficiently as possible.

Summary
Currently the REC does not require the Central Switching Service (CSS) and Switching Operator (SO) to provide the enduring test environments and test data for use by REC Parties when making necessary system changes for REC Change Proposals or internal system updates. This Change Proposal has been raised to introduce these obligations in to the REC.

Problem Statement
For specific types of changes, industry system testing will be required to ensure the end-to-end Switching processes will work as expected following implementation. If Test Environments and Test Data are not available, CSS Users will not be able to complete testing to confirm their systems will operate correctly in the live environment. The REC currently doesn’t define specific obligations on Service Providers regarding enduring test systems and Test Data for Switching processes. The lack of specific obligations may impact the availability of appropriate Test Environments. This could impact the progression of improvements to Switching processes that require a technical change.

- 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.
- 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.

This Change Proposal seeks to clarify the obligations of each type of metering provider by reintroducing the distinction between Meter Operator Agents and MOCOPA Meter Installers which was removed by Retail Code Consolidation. At Retail Code Consolidation these organisations were merged into a new category, Metering Equipment Managers, which also included gas metering providers. Whilst both types of organisation can provide metering services, not all MEM obligations in the REC apply to both organisations.

Proposed solution summary
- As an electricity MEM, I want to be clear on the obligations I need to meet, based on the type of metering activity I complete. I want to meet my obligations efficiently and effectively and without the need to seek additional input/advice from the Code Manager.
- As the Code Manager, I want to be able to differentiate between electricity MEMs based on the type of activity they are responsible for and their interaction with central systems, so that I can engage appropriately. I need to be clear on the obligations that each MEM should be meeting and the performance reporting that should be provided.

Problem Statement
The REC currently groups all electricity metering providers within the MEM category. Previously, under the Master Registration Agreement (MRA) they were either classified as Meter Operator Agent or MOCOPA Meter Installers. Not all MEM obligations in the REC are intended to apply to both types of organisations. This can result in ambiguity on the obligations set out in the REC that need to be met by the different types of electricity MEM, not being able to target information to REC Parties appropriately and MEMs not being clear on their new entrant or Maintenance of Qualification obligations.

Problem Statement
The SNOW tickets received by ERDS and GRDS for messages that CSS has asynchronously rejected (e.g., for business rule reasons) currently do not contain the relevant data for the SDSPs to triage and take any necessary action to resolve the underlying issue(s).This may delay the resolution of the SNOW tickets, potentially having an impact on aConsumers Switch.

Summary
As part of the Faster Switching Programme Enactment Phase change CR-E37, a restriction was applied to Electricity Retail Data Agents (ERDAs) to prevent multiple changes being made to the RMP. Any errors can be rectified once in the lifetime of an RMP, back to the creation of the RMP. This change has been raised to allow ERDAs to make more than one change to Energy Flow to improve data accuracy without requiring a new RMP

Solution Development
Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer, I want any metering data issues to be resolved without the need for a new MPAN to be created, so that I am able to reference my current MPAN in any discussions with my Energy Supplier or other Market Participants.
- As an ERDA, I want to be able to correct the Metering Point Energy Flow Data Item more than once, to remove the need for the termination of RMPs and the creation of new RMPs and to facilitate data accuracy. As an impacted Market Participant, I want to ensure good quality underlying data is available to support the transition to MHHS to avoid additional time and effort being spent fixing data quality issues during the migration period.
- As an Energy Supplier, I want data issues associated with the Metering Point Energy Flow to be resolved without the need to create a new RMP, so that my Settlement accuracy and performance is not impacted As an Energy Supplier, I want data issues associated with the Metering Point Energy Flow to be resolved without the need to create a new RMP, so that discussions I have with my customers are not unnecessarily confused by a change in RMP reference.

Problem Statement
To maintain accurate values for Settlement, DNOs must make regular changes to the LLFC Indicator in ERDS. Until June 2023, the meteringPointEnergyFlow has been tied to this Data Item, which has sometimes resulted in changes to the energy direction. For example, going from Import to Export. Where errors have been identified, the DNO needs to be able to correct meteringPointEnergyFlow back to the correct value to ensure data accuracy. The current restriction, to only one change of Energy Direction against an RMP, can be overcome through by terminating the existing RMP and creating a new RMP with the correct Metering Point Energy Flow value. This has a detrimental impact on the Consumer and Settlement. It is inconvenient for the Consumer to be assigned a new MPAN and Settlement relies on an accurate history that will be lost when a new MPAN is assigned.
