Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer, I trust my Energy Supplier and their associated agents to have a robust metering framework to ensure the safety and accuracy of my meter.
- As an Energy Supplier, MEM or DNO, I need clear and correct documentation so I can identify the obligations I need to meet within my role and satisfy my audit criteria.
- As an Energy Supplier, I need to know that any MEM or DNO I work with is compliant to ensure the best practice for my customers.
- As the Metering Scheme Auditor, I need clear and correct documentation to ensure I can fulfil my role and provide confidence that REC Parties are meeting their obligations.

Problem Statement
MEMs are struggling to successfully pass their CoMCoP audits and be compliant, due to inconsistencies and lack of clarity in the document. There has been concern expressed by MEMs, that when contracting with Energy Suppliers, they are proclaiming themselves compliant with the CoMCoP when this may or may not be true.

Proposed solution summary
- The BSC Modification P455 Modification proposes to place a requirement on the SVA MOA (MEMs) appointed by the Boundary Point Supplier to rectify any faults found with the sub meters used in the On-Site Aggregation methodology; and to produce and submit the On-Site Aggregation Form to the HHDC. As MEMs (SVA MOAs) are governed under the Retail Energy Code (REC), R0150 is the REC's subsequent change to propose this.

Problem Statement
Under the proposed solution for BSC Modification P455, Consumers will require a Market Participant to oversee the maintenance of their sub-meter, including installations and rectification of metering faults. To ensure this, the REC will need to place a requirement on the MEMs appointed by the boundary point Electricity Supplier to rectify any faults found with the sub-meters used in the On-Site Aggregation.

Latest Update
22/02/2024 At the Metering Expert Panel meeting on 14 February 2024, the Panel voted to reject the Code Manager's recommendation to approve R0145 - Service Termination Issue Reporting (Change to Category 2 Document). Under REC Schedule 5 - Change Management, when a Responsible Committee rejects the recommendation of the Code Manager with respect to a Self-Governance Change Proposal, the Change Proposal is automatically referred to Ofgem (as the Authority) for its determination, unless the Code Manager changes its recommendation based on the reasons provided by the relevant sub committee. Following consideration of the decision made by the Metering Expert Panel and the reasons for its rejection, the Code Manager has decided to amend its recommendation, and is now recommending the rejection of R0145. The Code Manager maintains that the business case for R0145 was made, and the solution does address the identified problem statement, and this was reflected in the comments of a majority of group members as the R0145 was progressed and during the vote. However, it is clear that some RECMEP members are supportive of a change to the governance of this document that would remove it from the REC completely. Although this was outside of the scope of the original change, it was a consistent theme throughout the development of R0145. Consequently, R0145 has been rejected for implementation and the decision will not be referred to Ofgem.
Summary
This Change Proposal updates the Categorisation of this REC document to a Category 2 document. It is currently classified as a Category 3 document – which are used for guidance documents that have no material impacts on REC Parties. The REC obligates compliance with this document through Schedule 14 – Meter Operations and the Consolidated Metering Codes of Practice

Proposed solution summary
- As a DNO I want to ensure that the MEMs who work on my network have the requisite skills and experience and that they will follow the instructions relating to reporting incidents of danger, damage, or interference with the DNO Equipment, as set out in the Service Termination Issue Reporting document.
- As a Supplier I want any MEM I employ to have clear instructions on how to report incidents of danger, damage, or interference with the DNO Equipment.
- As a MEM I want information on what actions I need to take where there is danger, damage, or interference with the DNO Equipment at site, so that issues can be safely addressed in the appropriate timescales.
- As the Code Manager, I want clarity on the governance and for change processes of the document to be appropriate, for the subject matter and relevant affected parties.
Problem Statement
Compliance with the CoMCoP and the Metering Operations Schedule includes obligations on the MEMs to report incidents of danger, damage, or interference with the DNO Equipment in accordance with the requirements set out in the document. Failure to comply with these requirements will leave the MEM subject to permission to work on the DNO’s equipment being revoked, which will have consequences on their ability to work as a REC MEM more widely.

Summary
A Balancing & Settlement Code (BSC) Modification P441 is looking to introduce additional Complex Site classes which would categorise the types of Complex Site, with each having clearly defined criteria within the BSC, whilst also facilitating a new "type" of Complex Site (referred to as a Class 6 Complex Site) to allow approval of "non-standard" complex sites. It will also clarify when the netting of Imports from Exports for multiple Metering Systems registered in Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA) is permitted.

Proposed solution summary
- As a consumer, I want more choice to take up low-carbon technology and more flexible energy solutions through local energy schemes, such as the Ofgem BEIS Smart System Flexibility Plan and any other future flexibility service provisions that may be developed.
- For MEMs, l want to remove ambiguity around the current Complex Site arrangements and will facilitate the advancement of community energy schemes.
- For Suppliers, I want to encourage more innovation that will lead to the better use of local energy schemes.
Problem Statement
The introduction of new Complex Site classes is needed into the REC to make the solutions under P441 and DCP 424 work. Meter Equipment Managers (MEMs) will need to understand what their new obligations are in respect of metering requirements, as well as impacts on any of the metering processes associated with a Complex Site.

- As a Consumer, I want industry systems to contain accurate information on my service so that future works or billing are not impacted.
- As a Metering Equipment Manager, I want to ensure my obligations are clear as to which Market Messages I am required to action and how this should be completed.
Problem Statement
Following the implementation of DCP383, MEMs are receiving Market Messages from the DNO however, there is no process defined within the REC on how to action them and their systems have not been configured to accept and process them. This has led to a backlog within the MEMs gateways and the Data Collector is not being updated on the meter’s new location.

Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer, I want to have continual Meter Equipment Manager coverage, so that I am confident that work on my Metering Asset can be conducted even during a Switch.
- As a MEM, I want my obligations relating to appointment and de-appointment to be considered and practicable, so that my operational processes are not unduly onerous. 2 - As a Gas Supplier, I want to be able to reliably and predictably appoint and de-appoint MEMs during a Switch, so that I am confident that my Consumers are not left without a MEM at any stage. 3 - As the Code Manager, I want REC processes to operate within SLAs that are reflective of both the realistic operational capacities of REC Parties, and also of the needs of the broader market, so that the end Consumer has the best possible Switching experience.
Problem Statement
Current ONAGE SLAs may no longer be proportionate to the length of the Switching process as a result of the Faster Switching programme. Lengthy ONAGE SLAs relative to the timescale of the switching process may result in Consumers being left without a MEM during the switch process. The proposer has asked the Code Manager to conduct a review of the ONAGE SLAs to explore whether these SLAs are still appropriate, and therefore ensure that Consumers are subject to any detriment.

08/11/2024 - This Change Proposal has been implemented as part of the November 2024 REC Release.
Summary
This change has been raised to address an issue with the 'Switch with a Concurrent Change of MEM process.'. MEMs are obliged to issue ONJOBs to the CDSP as part of a meter exchange. However, this would not be issued if the MEM has received a de-Appointment flow as part of the Switch. This change proposes to obligate MEMs to issue ONJOBs for any completed meter exchanges, even after receiving a de-Appointment flow. This will ensure accurate Meter Technical Details are available to the gaining Supplier and MEM.

Proposed solution summary
- As the DNO, I only want to send the commissioning information using the D0383 (MM00370) when I am made aware that the site has now been energised by the Registered Supplier’s MEM for a CT Pre-commissioned meter, so that I can meet my regulatory obligations under the BSC
- As a MEM I want to receive the information from the DNO in a timely manner to ensure my records are accurate and up to date, and that I can provide the Registered Supplier with information to ensure the metering point is accurately settled.

Problem Statement
The Balancing & Settlement Code Procedure (BSCP) 515 and the Retail Energy Code (REC) Metering Operations Schedule set out the obligations and timescales imposed on the DNO to send commissioning information to the MEM (using the D0383 (MM00370) data flow), where the DNO has installed metering equipment, with Measurement Transformers. When the DNO installs Low Voltage Current Transformer (LV CT) metering units, that have been pre-commissioned off-site, the commissioning of the units is done before installation and separately to the Energisation of the Supply. When the Energisation status change is the responsibility of the Registered Supplier and is requested of the MEM using the D0134 data flow, notification of the change in energisation status is then sent to the Registered Supplier and the DNO by the MEM, using the D0139 (MM00036) For an LV fused supply, the DNO may not be aware of who the MEM is to send the commissioning information to via a D0383 (MM00370) until a D0139 (MM00036) is received. This is often the point at which the DNO first becomes aware that a fused supply is now Energised. This may be several days/weeks/months after DNO commissioning, and it is proving difficult for the DNO to meet their BSC obligations.
