Problem Statement
A consumer moving into new premises does not have any billing information. If the address held in GES is ambiguous or differs from that understood by the new occupier, the consumer may be unable to switch supplier. However, the consumer does have the serial number which is displayed on the meter and could be used to instigate the switching process.

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.

Proposed solution summary
- 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.

Summary
It has been identified that gaps or misaligned references were transferred into the REC Data Specification at REC go-live. This Change Proposal seeks to fill these gaps and provide clarification for Parties. This will enable Parties to self-serve and reduce the risk of ambiguities in the current Data Specification resulting in incorrectly defined Market Messages. This change will update relevant legal text in the REC Data Specification to provide clarification and alignment from previous legacy documents to Parties. This will ensure existing Parties have a consistent understanding and new entrants are able to set up their systems appropriately.

Problem Statement
There is a risk that the current ambiguities in the Data Specification could make it challenging for Parties to follow the Data Specification and result in Market Messages being sent that do not correctly reflect the rules of the Data Specification. This may result in Market Message rejections, which may have impacts for Consumers and other Market Participants.
