Latest Update
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.

Service Termination Issue Reporting (Change to Category 2 document)

ID

Change Category
Change Path
Priority
Urgent
Yes
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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
The H100 hydrogen gas trial involves the supply of hydrogen gas to households in place of natural gas. The quantity of gas supplies needs to be billed in a way that is comparable to standard gas supply. To facilitate the trial, a multiplication factor enumeration value must be established within the Data Specification that can replicate hydrogen’s calorific value, therefore allowing accurate billing.

  2. As a Gas Supplier, I want to ensure H100 trial Consumers, are not charged more than they would have been, had they consumed the equivalent energy from natural gas. 2- As a Gas Transporter, I want to accurately know how much hydrogen gas is being offtaken, so that I can support Suppliers. 3- As the Central Data Service Provider (CDSP), I want Market Messages relating to meter asset information to be accurate, so that I am better able to support dependant REC Parties. 4- As a Meter Equipment Manager (MEM), I want my metering assets compatible with the H100 trial to be underpinned by accurate Market Messages, so that I able to manage these meters correctly.

Problem Statement
In order for the H100 gas trial to be successful, a billable value for hydrogen gas needs to be accurately calculated from supplied physical volumes. To do this, relevant Data Items (relating to the calculation of billable gas volumes) within the Data Specification need to be updated to allow a new value for the multiplication factor. This change seeks to introduce a new enumeration value for the multiplication factor needed to facilitate the addition of this new value.

Solution Development
Proposed solution summary
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
