Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Domestic Consumer, I want to be able to choose my Energy Supplier and a tariff from a range of competitive options, so that I can take advantage of cheaper deals as they become available.
  2. As the Authority, I want the necessary changes made to the Retail Energy Code to introduce the MSC obligations, so that the new MSC licence obligations on Energy Suppliers can be effectively discharged by RECCo.
  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

Problem Statement
Following the publication of Ofgem’s decision on potential short-term interventions to address risks to consumers from market volatility, the Market Stabilisation Charge will be introduced via the modified Standard Licence Condition 24A and introduced into the REC by Change Proposal R0034. A change is needed to the REC to set out the charging and payment mechanism, and to introduce the necessary governance arrangements to allow these MSC payments to be administered by RECCo.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Micro-Business Consumer, I want my Energy Supplier to complete my Smart Meter installation in line with, or above, the standards of service provided by other Energy Suppliers, so that the installation of the Smart Meter has minimal disruption to my business.
  2. As an Energy Supplier to Micro-Business Consumers, I want access to Consumer feedback from across the industry, to enable me to assess my performance relative to other Micro-Business Energy Suppliers and identify areas of under or over performance, enabling me to take appropriate actions to increase or maintain my performance.

Problem Statement
Energy Suppliers do not currently have the ability to assess their Micro-Business Smart Meter installation performance relative to other Energy Suppliers through Consumer Survey Reports, therefore may not take any appropriate action to address any areas of underperformance or respond to trends in Consumer feedback, wider than their own Consumer base. This could affect the Smart Meter installation service received by Micro-Business Consumers.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As an impacted Market Participant, I want to ensure good quality underlying data is available to support the transition to HH Settlements to avoid additional time and effort being spent fixing data quality issues during the migration period.
  2. As the MHHS Programme, I want Registration Data Items to be available ahead of the MHHS migration to enable data cleanse activity to be completed to address data quality issues.

Problem Statement
There are Registration Service Data Items that are critical to the MHHS rules and processes. The MHHS Programme is concerned that starting migration in October 2024 with poor underlying data quality would lead to avoidable time and effort being spent fixing issues during the 12-month migration period. To facilitate MHHS Programme data cleanse activity, prior to the transition to Half Hourly Settlement, Registration Service Data Items need to be introduced into the existing Supplier Meter Registration Service (SMRS) system and displayed in EES.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer I want to receive my bills when expected, from the Supplier of my choice without delays caused by being switched incorrectly and not being resolved in a timely manner. As a Consumer, in the event that my Supplier has exited the market and my supply cannot be returned to my original Supplier, I want the Gaining ET Supplier to have the ability to terminate any ET process that has already been initiated so that I am able to choose my preferred Supplier and switch without delay or penalty.
  2. As a Consumer, if Energy Suppliers need to share my data to resolve a switching issue, I want Suppliers to share my personal data securely so that my data is protected.
  3. As an Energy Supplier, where appropriate, I need to be able to cancel an ET effectively and efficiently, so that I can bill my Consumers accurately and timely. As an Energy Supplier, where appropriate, I need to be able to cancel an ET so that I supply Consumers with whom I have a valid contract.
  4. As The Code Manager I need to be able to identify when an ET has been cancelled so that I have a clear audit trail and can monitor performance effectively.

Problem Statement
Erroneous Transfers are being cancelled by Suppliers, which is currently not permitted under the REC. There is no consistent defined process or audit trail. In the event of a Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) being appointed, or on a Change of Occupier at a premise, the Gaining Supplier currently has no way to formally cancel an ET after it has been initiated. This can cause Switching and/or Billing delays for Consumers whilst Energy Suppliers attempt to resolve an outstanding or open ET. For Energy Suppliers this can mean they are supplying Consumers with whom they have no Valid Contract, resulting in additional Guaranteed Standards of Performance (GSOP) Payments and increased Consumer dissatisfaction. The Performance Assurance Board (PAB) has no way to identify the difference between the process legitimately closing without resolution, and an Energy Supplier not meeting their obligations in the code to properly resolve an ET. As a result, the PAB are unable to differentiate the performance of Energy Suppliers between those that are closed down legitimately or those being closed inappropriately.

Problem Statement
As a rule, changes to Category 3 products should not cause a material impact to parties and stakeholders. It has been identified that there are a number of Category 3 documents where changes to these artefacts could have a material impact to the systems and processes of REC Parties and Service Users. These changes should therefore follow a more robust and thorough assessment to ensure these impacts are identified and the most appropriate solution is considered.

  1. As a PPMIP, I want to receive accurate market share data to allow me to complete the Unallocatable Prepayment Allocation Run in a timely manner.

Problem Statement
The process for the allocation and payment of Unallocatable Transactions, set out in the Prepayment Arrangements Schedule, does not currently take into account Energy Suppliers that have exited the market or that do not have a contract with the PPMIP. This prevents the PPMIP from being able to release payments to Energy Suppliers, as the process doesn’t allow for all funds to be accounted for in the calculation.

  1. As an Electricity Consumer, I want data associated with my electricity supply to be made consistently available to Market Participants relevant organisations, so that they have equal access to the data they use to supply my electricity or look after my meter.
  2. As an EES User, I want to have access to all the data items appropriate to my EES User Category so that I can operate processes without disruption, to provide a good service to my customers and meet my performance targets. As the EES Provider I want to have clarity on the data items that I should provide to EES Users appropriate to their role. As the Code Manager I want Market Participants to have access to appropriate data in EES so they can complete business processes and meet performance targets, while ensuring access to data is subject to appropriate security and controls.

Problem Statement
There is currently a lack of clarity regarding the data items that should be accessible by each EES User Category and there are potentially instances where data restrictions have been placed on EES Users which cannot be justified. The Data Access Matrix does not currently provide a single standardised role-based framework for EES Users’ access to data. This means that the Code Manager and the EES Provider cannot grant and provide EES Users with standardised access for a particular role. This may also result in operational issues for new entrants or can create a situation whereby EES Users in the same role have different access arrangements.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer, I want my Energy Supplier to receive and act upon energy theft tip-offs, to ensure the safety and security of my energy supply.
  2. As an ETTOS Recipient, I need to be aware of changes to the way I will receive and send tip-off information, so I can engage in the process and plan any required changes to my processes.
  3. As an ETTOS Recipient, I need to receive my ETTOS Service Data in a timely manner, so that I am able to act on tip-offs, to reduce risks for consumers and my business.

Problem Statement
The ETTOS Service Provider, will be decommissioning their onsite servers on 31 January 2022. Consequently, the ETTOS web portal will no longer be used to provide the ETTOS Service Data (tip-off reports) to ETTOS Recipients. Instead, reports will be sent directly to ETTOS Recipients via encrypted emails. Updates are required to the REC to reflect the changes to the ETTOS report dissemination process.

Latest Update
16/05/2023 - At the Change Panel meeting on 02 May 2023, the recommendations set out in the SDEP Review Report were approved. This included the initiation of 6 Change Proposal groups, including a group that captures Multilateral Erroneous Switches and the functionality changes required within R0016. As a consequence Change Proposal R0016 - Resolution of Bilateral Erroneous Transfers has been withdrawn. The requirements identified under R0016 will be taken forward under a new SDEP review related Change Proposal.
Summary
This Change Proposal is to introduce a more consistent and efficient mechanism for Suppliers to use when investigating and resolving Bilateral Erroneous Transfers.

Solution Development
Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer, I want issues affecting me or my energy account to be resolved at the earliest opportunity, to minimise impacts to my energy switch or accurate and timely billing.
  2. As a Consumer, I want industry parties to share my personal data securely so that my data is protected.
  3. As an Energy Supplier, I want to be able to resolve Bilateral Erroneous Transfers effectively and efficiently, so that I can bill my Consumers accurately and timely.
  4. As an Energy Supplier, I want to be able to resolve Bilateral Erroneous Transfers effectively and efficiently, so that I supply Consumers with whom I have a valid contract.
Problem Statement
The SDEP currently only supports direct messaging between two SDEP Users and doesn’t allow for communications to be shared with multiple users (three or more). In circumstances where agreement is required between multiple parties, this needs to be managed outside of the SDEP by telephone and email. This has reportedly resulted in inconsistencies between parties and delays in the resolution process.
