Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Market Participant, I need the industry Market Message/Data Specification to be implemented by all Parties at the same time so that I am able to validate EMRS invoices and credits without having to request additional supporting data or without my Market Messages failing.
  2. As LCCC I need to delay the implementation of R0011 so that changes to industry Market Message/Data Specification can be implemented by all Parties at the same time so that industry Market Messages don’t fail validation between Parties.
Problem Statement
Following a review of its delivery pipeline, the LCCC has determined it is unable to deploy the changes required in time for the current approved implementation date of 04 November 2022. In order to communicate a revised date and to limit the impacts to industry parties and delivery partners, this change needs to be assessed as a matter of urgency.

Problem Statement
REC Parties and Service Providers rely on the REC to provide a consistent baseline to ensure the industry operates effectively and to give certainty to Parties obligations. There are currently inconsistencies between the drafting of the REC, and the processes operated by REC Parties and Service Providers. This could cause issues in the effective operation and assurance of the retail energy market.

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 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
  2. 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.

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.

  5. As a Metering Scheme Auditor, I want clarity on appropriate identity requirements so I can confidently validate a Metering Equipment Manager’s identity during a site audit.
Problem Statement
Identify card inconsistencies can result in Metering Scheme Auditors and Consumers not being able to reliably verify a Meter Operative’s identity. If Consumers and Metering Scheme Auditors are unable to verify the Competent Person’s identity there could be delays to audits being completed, on-site work being carried out, safety risks or a reduction in consumer trust and confidence.

Solution Development
Proposed solution summary
  1. As an Electricity Consumer I want to be confident that the Meter Operative that completes work on my Metering Equipment is competent to ensure my supply is safe, secure and uninterrupted.
  2. As a MEM, I want to be confident that my processes and Meter Operatives are compliant with the MOCoP, to ensure minimal disruption to my clients and the safety of my employees.
  3. As an Electricity Supplier, I want to be confident that my Appointed agents are compliant with the MOCoP to ensure my consumers safety.
Problem Statement
Current metering accreditation arrangements allow MEMs to work on whole current or Current Transformer (CT) meters regardless of whether they have previously or recently been assessed on that metering category. This poses potential risks for the safety of Consumers and Meter Operatives as the MEMs may not have appropriate processes or training in place to ensure compliance with the MOCoP.
