Summary
Prior to R0118 - Review of Schedule 12 and processes to manage access to data being approved, the Code Manager accepted Change Proposal R0056 - EES/GES Additional Service Request for Housing Associations to be added to the Data Access Matrix from Corella. Corella’s intention was to create an API specifically to provide a range of Data Items to Housing Associations, having worked closely with a Housing Association to create a prototype API which provided benefits to them. The Code Manager has considered the broad list of Gas Data Items originally requested and is proposing to provide access to only a subset of these, to enable the Housing Association to identify where a live gas supply exists at the property to comply with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations. Once the API is delivered, the Code Manager expects other Housing Associations to make use of it, as an alternative option to the standard Housing Association Report that exists today however has more limited data.

Summary
Following the implementation of MHHS, there is a requirement to host a selection of ISD information acquired from the Market Domain Data Tables (currently hosted by Elexon), centrally within the REC Data Specification. The existing data tables are as follows. MDD Entity ID 27 – Clock Interval (c.11,000 records) MDD Entity ID 29 – Measurement Requirement (c.1500 records) MDD Entity ID 32 – Standard Settlement Configuration (c.1000 records) MDD Entity ID 38 – Time Pattern Regime (c.1200 records) Given the volume of data contained within these tables, the simplest solution is to host and provide this information to REC parties, via Spreadsheet (CSV format) on the existing RTS platform, Digital Navigator/EMAR. We would like to consult parties for their view on presenting the data in this format. There are other formatting options we could consider, including the provision of this information in more than one format. Option 1 – CSV only Option 2 – SQL only Option 3 – SQL and CSV This new Category 3 document will also be added to the REC Baseline Statement.

26/08/2025 - Update to Proposal Plan published. This will be presented to the REC Change Panel at their meeting on 02 September 2025.
Summary
Non dual-fuel Consumers who register upon the PSR, will have their PSR data flow across energy industry data flows to mean that all parties are aware of any PSR Needs Codes, allowing us all to provide equal access to our services and support. This will be achieved via the utilisation of existing processes and systems. Initially a pilot will take place for a minimum of 3 months between participating companies before extending this to the whole industry”.

Problem Statement
The majority of domestic customers in the UK are what are called in the industry ‘dual-fuel’ - this means that with two types of energy (electricity & gas) a domestic dwelling has a single supplier ie they pay their bill to one organisation. This ‘dual-fuel’ position has supported the industry improvements to Priority Services Register (PSR) data flows by allowing previous divides to be overstepped in terms of data flows between energy types. There is however a problem which this RECC request aims to resolve. That is, where a customer who has both fuel types, also has two suppliers and they want to register upon the PSR. This was always a ‘known’ gap shared with our regulator when the many improvements were implemented across the PSR and considered to be something that would be addressed at a later date. This ‘gap’ means that without the dual-fuel link, currently data flows do not complete across energy types via the supplier data flow triggers.

08/08/2024 - the Proposer has withdrawn this Change Proposal.
Summary
RECCo is tasked with fulfilling several obligations. This proposal has been raised to amend some of the wording within the REC, which would benefit from reassessment. When the REC was originally drafted, references to RECCo in the code were originally intended to refer to the activities directly managed and overseen by the REC Board, and were considered separately to activities managed by the Code Manager.

Proposed solution summary
- C1 - As a Consumer, I want industry data relating to my energy supply to be accurate, so that I do not experience any issues when switching or engaging with other consumer facing industry practices.
- M1 - As a CSS User, I want available DPI data to be accurate, so that when I engage with industry processes that require DPI data, I am confident that I am engaging with the right information. M2 - As the CSS, I want to provide accurate data to CSS Users, so that I am able to facilitate successful industry operations for my Users.
Problem Statement
Inaccurate DPI data available within industry data sources can result in less accuracy within REC processes that utilise this data, and poorer consumer outcomes. DPI data accuracy needs to be improved to ensure that industry processes and Consumers are not impacted.
