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.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a CSS User I want access to a CSS Test Environment, to enable me to test my systems and processes ahead of the implementation of complex or significant changes, so that I can identify any issues prior to go-live.
  2. As the SO, I want clarity on the obligations placed on me regarding the provision and maintenance of CSS Test Environments and data, so that I can meet my obligations and provide CSS Users and Service Providers with access to appropriate Test Environments.
  3. As a Switching Data Service Provider (SDSP), I want clarity on the obligations placed on me regarding the provision and maintenance of Test Environments and data, so that I can meet my obligations to test CSS changes. As a Switching Data Service Provider (SDSP), I want access to a CSS Test Environment, to enable me to test my systems and processes ahead of the implementation of complex or significant changes, so that I can identify any issues and address prior to go-live.

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.

Clarification of Supplier of Last Resort Obligations under the REC

Latest Update
04/08/2023 - Change Proposal has been withdrawn as agreed with the Proposer. The Problem Statement was addressed through C3-0047 - Updates to PAB Procedures.
Summary
Within Schedule 19 – Market Exit and Supplier of Last Resort there is currently no consideration of circumstances where the Replacement Supplier is unable to fulfil its REC obligations in respect of Consumers transferred to them, due to them having little or no control over the processes of the failed supplier or it’s administrator. This change seeks to define when the Replacement Supplier is responsible for obligations relating to the Consumers gained through a Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) Process.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer when my Energy Supplier goes out of business and I am transferred to a Replacement Supplier, I want my supply transfer to be handled quickly and have confidence that my new Supplier has all the necessary data to set up my account and bill me correctly from the transfer date, and if the Replacement Supplier fails to provide the expected level of service they will be appropriately held accountable.
  2. As a Replacement Supplier, I want the limitations affecting my ability to meet my REC obligations to be understood by the REC Code Manager and the Performance Assurance Board, so that any breaches of obligations are considered fairly and any limitations are taken into consideration.
  3. As the Code Manager I want to apply appropriate and proportionate Performance Assurance Techniques, taking in to account the ability of a Replacement Supplier to meet their obligations under the REC.

Problem Statement
Currently, Replacement Suppliers are responsible for all obligations of the failed supplier from the date and time set out in the Last Resort Supply Direction, this includes a period of time prior to Consumer accounts transferring to the Replacement Supplier’s systems, limiting their ability to fulfil these obligations. This means that a Replacement Supplier may experience issues with the Performance Assurance obligations for which they are responsible, but do not have direct control over. Any breaches of obligations by a Replacement Supplier need to be considered fairly and any limitations the Replacement Supplier may face are taken into consideration.

Latest Update
01/05/25 - Proposal withdrawn at proposers request.
Summary
This change has been raised to address the issue that Suppliers currently are not required to provide a 24/7 emergency metering service that enables a Consumer to speak to an agent and/or receive a visit from a field operative outside normal business hours when faced with power loss situation relating to a metering issue. This Change Proposal has been raised to assess and consider the options to address this issue.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As an Energy Consumer, I want my metering fault to be identified and fixed as soon as possible, so that I am not left in a situation where I have no electricity for an extended period. I want to be able to contact the correct Party to fix my metering fault. I want my personal circumstances to be taken in to account when arranging for a fault to be fixed out of standard working hours.
  2. As a DNO, where there is a meter fault identified I want to be able to contact the Energy Supplier to rectify this, no matter what day or time this is identified, so that Consumers are not left without power for extended periods, during which time they may require ongoing help, support and communication. As an Energy Supplier, I want to provide my Customers with accurate and relevant Emergency contact information. As an Energy Supplier, I want to be able to respond to meter faults in a timely manner and not leave Consumers without power for an extended period.
  3. As a MEM, I want to be notified, in a timely manner, of faults that occur on Metering assets I am responsible for, so that I am able to rectify these without undue detriment being experienced by Consumers
Problem Statement
In situations where an Electricity Consumer experiences a loss of power, the DNOs who attend site to investigate and resolve the issues, are unable to do so when there is a meter issue, which is the responsibility of the Energy Supplier and it’s Appointed agents. When an issue occurs out of hours, or when an Energy Supplier does not have an out of hours metering service in operation, Consumers can be left without power for an extended period, this can create a safety or health concern, particularly for vulnerable Consumers or vulnerable members of their household.

  3. As the CSS Provider, I want the CSS to be able to receive notifications from the Registration Service on the appointment/de-appointment of an SMDR so that I can send the appointment data to the SMDSP. As the CSS Provider, I want the CSS to be able to provide SMDR appointment data to the SMDSP.

Problem Statement
The MHHS Target Operating Model requires that the appointment data of the Smart Meter Data Retriever (SMDR) is available to the Smart Meter Data Service Provider (SMDSP), so that the SMDSP can provide SMDRs with access to the Smart Meters at Metering Points they are registered to. Currently the new SMDR role and appointment data do not exist in, nor can they be made available from, CSS as this is a new industry operating model.

  3. As RECCo, I want the Retail Energy Code to specify my obligations, governance and charging mechanisms, so that I can effectively discharge obligations imposed by the Authority through the Licence Condition modification.
  4. As a Domestic Supplier, I want to understand how RECCo will calculate my credits and liabilities and when they will send my invoices/credit notes, so that I can plan to review my invoices/credit notes prior to the receipt of monies owed or payments I make to RECCo or at an appropriate time for my organisation. As a Domestic Supplier, I want to understand how I could dispute an invoice which I do not believe is accurate, so that I am able to raise a dispute/challenge compliantly
