21/11/2025 - Following a review of the impact assessments received for the technical solution required to deliver R0148, taking into account the timelines, costs and the pending decision on the Evolution of the Enquiry Services, a positive business case cannot be demonstrated at this time. RECCo have, therefore, made the decision to withdraw R0148 and look at how the technical objectives can be met through the Evolution of the Enquiry Services. The adoption window has closed.
Summary
Currently Enquiry Services Data is only available to users whose roles and purposes for access are detailed within the Data Access Matrix (DAM). RECCo has undertaken a project to look at REC controlled data sources and created a Metadata Catalogue based on a Data Classification Model. This details the data items along with descriptions, identification of the associated data, roles, responsibilities, and classification. The output of this work will be utilised to improve access to Enquiry Services Data by making certain data items (defined as Always Open) easily available to everyone and simplifying the approval process for data items which can be made available if certain conditions have been met.

Problem Statement
Currently the REC has a focus on role-based access to data items within the Enquiry Services as detailed in Schedule 12 – Data Access. However, a system and process where data items are released by virtue of the data item is needed.

Latest Update
This change was implemented as part of the the Extraordinary release on 28 March 2024. *This Change Proposal has no impacts on Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement
Summary
This Change Proposal seeks to introduce the necessary governance and charging arrangements into the Retail Energy Code, to reconcile the impact on Domestic Energy Suppliers of levelling the cost of standing charges to Domestic Consumers paying by means of a Prepayment Meter with those paying by Direct Debit. This proposal is being raised on a contingent basis pending the decision of the Authority on whether to modify the standard conditions of the Gas and Electricity Supply Licences to levelise standing charges. That decision is expected in January 2024. This Change Proposal is being progressed in anticipation of the reconciliation of levelisation costs being administered by the Retail Energy Code Company.

Problem Statement
This is a Housekeeping Change Proposal subject to the Housekeeping Change Proposal process, rather than the standard change process. The nature of the change is that it makes non-material changes to the REC Products to correct typographical and consistency errors. It also provides an opportunity to introduce necessary clarifications.

Summary
This change seeks to expand the obligation for Energy Suppliers to only work with TPIs who are adhering to principles as set out in the REC TPI Code of Practice to all Non-Domestic Consumers. It also looks to reduce the burden on Energy Suppliers having to perform their own audits by introducing a REC Services Accreditation Scheme and allowing companies to qualify as an Industry-Recognised Accreditation Body.

Proposed solution summary
- 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.
- As a Domestic Supplier, I want to understand how RECCo will calculate my credits and liabilities and when they will send statements, so that I can plan to review my invoices/credit notes prior to the receipt of monies owed or payments I need to make to RECCo or at an appropriate time for my organisation.
- As a Domestic Supplier, I want to understand how I can dispute a Credit Advice which I do not believe is accurate, so that I am able to raise a dispute/challenge compliantly.

Problem Statement
Schedule 22 says that within 10 Working Days after the end of each MSC-4-Week Cycle, RECCo shall send each Energy Supplier a statement in respect of that MSC-4-Week Cycle. This contradicts the 15 days set out in the Process Maps shared with Parties during the development of the administration arrangements of the Market Stabilisation Charge. Additionally, suppliers are querying how they may raise a dispute when they believe they are not entitled to the monies stated on Credit Advice Notices as this process is not set out in the Schedule.

08/11/2024 - This Change Proposal has been implemented as part of the November 2024 REC Release.
Summary
Annulments are defined in the interpretations schedule as: Annulled means that a Registration has been annulled by the Losing Supplier pursuant to an Annulment Request. “Annulment” and similar expressions shall be interpreted accordingly. Annulment Request means the Registration Service Request from the Losing Supplier to terminate the progress of a Registration in accordance with Paragraph 10 of the Registration Services Schedule. The Registration Services Schedule does not define an annulment but sets out in para 10: A Losing Supplier must only submit an Annulment Request in respect of a Registration where the Losing Supplier is permitted to do so in accordance with its Energy Supply Licence. Unfortunately the Energy Supply Licence does not refer to annulments, making this term not clearly defined. REC Performance Assurance (RPA) have identified Parties using annulments when they should use other processes. The lack of a clear definition of what an annulment is could be a contributing factor to this.

06/12/2023- This Change was implemented as part of the 6 December 2023 Extraordinary Release
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.
