28/07/2026 - update to plan published for decision at the Change Panel on 4 August 2026.
Summary
As TPIs we are employed by our customers to check that the charges are being applied correctly. One of the big issues year after year is when the SOQ changes for a supply prior to the next supply contract renewal. As you are hopefully aware, the standing charges for Gas supplies are primarily built up around the Transportation charges. And one of the main component parts in the calculation of the standing charge is the SOQ. When we are asked to :- a) Validate the standing charge on any new offer, we are reliant on the supplier simply getting the SOQ correct. We need to see the SOQ so that we can work out what the standing charge should be. - then we challenge the supplier before they get the charges wrong. b) Our customers also want us to forecast the rates/costs for the coming year. This is impossible without access to the SOQ.

Summary
Change to update the Electricity Data Access Matrix and Service User Categorisation Document. Due to the one-off nature of the PAFA application and the expectation that other Codes may request bespoke access in future, the Code Manager is proposing that a new category be created. However, that data approvals are dependent on the specific use case and not provisioned in an enduring way. The new category will state TBC against each EES data item in the same way as Research Bodies and Government Departments.

Problem Statement
The annual portfolio reconciliation exercise conducted by the CDSP on MAM-held Data Items is neither frequent enough nor is it expeditious enough, according to the Proposer. MAMs are being asked to reconcile Data Items several months after they were initially provided, which may impact the efficacy of the exercise if these Data Items have changes since they were initially submitted.
