30/11/2022 - The REC Technical Expert Panel voted to approve R0055 for implementation on 24 February 2023.
Summary
Within the Switching Operator Service Definition, the Central Switching Service (CSS) Provider is required to provide 10 Working Days’ (WDs) notice of planned system outages. However, within the CSS Provider’s processes and the Switching Operator Change Management Process Category 3 document, an 8 WD lead time is set out. This change seeks to address this discrepancy.

Proposed solution summary
- As the CSS Provider, I want the service levels to be consistently defined across relevant REC Products. This will ensure that I am clear on the lead time I need to provide for planned outages and can meet the defined service level.
- As a CSS User, I want to understand how much notice I will get for planned outages of the CSS, so I am able to appropriately plan my activity reliant on this service.
- As a Switching Data Service Provider, I want to understand how much notice I will get for planned outages of the CSS. This will ensure I am able to appropriately plan my Operational Switching Service Changes and associated activities.

Problem Statement
Across REC products there is an inconsistency in the defined lead time for the CSS Provider to provide notification of scheduled maintenance and system outages. This may result in uncertainty for Switching Data Service Providers around when they should submit an Operational Switching Service Change. This is to ensure there is sufficient lead time for any change to be included within a planned maintenance release, and for CSS Users planning their operational activity around CSS availability.

Problem Statement
VLPs are required to provide their customer’s MPAN as part of the registration process, as per the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC). VLPs do not currently have access to the EES to enable an MPAN search and they have no reliable means to acquire the MPAN, other than asking their customer to provide it. This could potentially lead to delays in the registration process and may result in an increased risk of inaccurate data, detrimentally impacting the service VLPs are able to provide to their customers.

08/11/2024 - This Change Proposal has been implemented as part of the November 2024 REC Release.
Summary
The Central Registration Services (CRS) intellectual property rights (IPR) provisions in the Code were drafted before designation of v1.0 of the Code and primarily seek to deal with the CRS Services IPR as if it were IPR developed and owned by the CRS Provider or its contractors. In reality, much of the solution is built upon third party-owned software or platforms/services that are available to the market. Notwithstanding certain concessions were drafted in Clause 13.5 of the Code at designation, the scope of CRS Service IPR refers to some now obsolete terms and concepts and ought to be amended to clarify what the CRS Provider actually owns or is responsible for, to alleviate the existing ambiguity. Potential to amend Clause 13 of the Code as proposed in the attached mark-up, with consequential amendments to the associated definitions in Schedule 1 (Interpretation and Definitions). The definition “User” should be deleted from the Code and the defined terms “CSS User” or “REC Service User” (as applicable) used in substitution.

R0049-Draft REC Main Body Changes V1.0 04.07.24
Archive

Problem Statement
There is uncertainty as to the scope of the various classes of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) covered in Clause 13 of the REC Main Body (including the extent to which any IPR may exist in certain data, and the use of obsolete terms and concepts). As a result, there is a risk that the relevant industry stakeholders referred to in Clause 13 are unable to grant the licences and indemnities as described in that Clause. The current wording of Clause 5.3 of the REC Main Body requires amendments to ensure it correctly reflects the relationship between CRS Provider and RECCo, the services being provided and the entitlement to input VAT as a recipient of the CRS.

26/06/2024 - The Technical Expert Panel have rejected R0048 in line with the Code Manager's recommendation.
Summary
Currently within the Central Switching Service (CSS) Service Definition document there is a requirement for the CSS Provider to arrange for and undertake system organisation control type 2 (SOC2) assessments on the CSS’s cloud-based infrastructure. This Change Proposal seeks to determine if it is appropriate for the requirement for assurance on the CSS’s cloud-based infrastructure to be changed from ‘SOC2 Type 2’ to ‘independently assessed’.

Problem Statement
The CSS Provider asserts that SOC2 assessment does not provide a proportionate level of assurance or the best value for money, which based on their experience, they believe they have a better understanding of the CSS’s risk profile. However, the use of SOC2 assessments is currently defined within the CSS Definition document, which means an alternative assurance regime cannot be used.

Problem Statement
The current metering arrangements, with separate Metering Codes of Practice, contains duplication and inefficiencies. There are currently four different auditors that undertake accreditation and audit activities across the different schemes. This could mean that a REC Party may require multiple separate accreditations and site audits, resulting in unnecessary operational impacts and costs.

Proposed solution summary
- As a Consumer I want the Switch process to work effectively so that I can switch Electricity Supplier without delay or issues As a Consumer I want the Switch process to work effectively so that if my Switch needs to be cancelled it is done so without delay or issues
- As an Energy Supplier I want the Switch systems and process to operate effectively so that appointment Market Messages will be sent to my agents at the appropriate time so that there is no disruption to the Consumer switching experience
- As the ERDS Provider I only want to receive the first Pending message and then the Secured Active confirmation message, in order that there is no risk of processing CSS messages out of sequence which could impact a timely Switch for electricity Consumers As the CSS Provider I want the messages I send to MPRS to be processed effectively so that there is no disruption to the Switch process and Consumers’ Switches can be confirmed or cancelled as required
Problem Statement
Due to the high volume and timing of Registration messages being sent by the CSS, some messages are at risk of being received by REC Parties and Service Providers out of sequence. When messages have been received out of sequence, there is a risk that the information maintained in MPRS, including Registration Status, will be incorrect and will not match that held in the Registration Service. This in turn means MPRS updates to Parties could be triggered in error.
