Proposed solution summary
  1. As a domestic Electricity Consumer, I want to be quoted accurately for my electricity usage based on my electricity consumption, so that I can make an informed decision to accept/reject the quotation offered.
  2. As an Electricity Supplier, I want to have access to the most recent Metering Point consumption data to be able to provide accurate prices/quotations to a consumer based on their Electricity usage.
  3. As a Third-Party Intermediary (TPI), I want to have access to the most recent Metering Point consumption data to be able to provide accurate prices/quotations to a consumer based on their Electricity usage.
Problem Statement
Where an Electricity Supplier provides a quotation, or Third-Party Intermediary (TPI) completes a comparison, for an Electricity Consumer they must rely on the information provided by the Consumer about their electricity usage. In some cases, consumers may not have access to or knowledge of their annual electricity usage. Consequently, this would be estimated leading to potential inaccurate quotations being provided. Having access to the Metering Point level Estimated Annual Consumption (EAC) via the Electricity Enquiry Service (EES) would enable the provision of more accurate electricity quotations, enabling the Consumer to make an informed choice about their Electricity Supplier, tariff and product.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a PPMIP, I want to receive accurate market share data to allow me to complete the Unallocatable Prepayment Allocation Run in a timely manner.
  2. As an Energy Supplier, I want the calculation of Unallocatable Transactions to be carried out accurately and efficiently so that I receive payments allocated to my organisation.

Problem Statement
The process for the allocation and payment of Unallocatable Transactions, set out in the Prepayment Arrangements Schedule, does not currently take into account Energy Suppliers that have exited the market or that do not have a contract with the PPMIP. This prevents the PPMIP from being able to release payments to Energy Suppliers, as the process doesn’t allow for all funds to be accounted for in the calculation.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As an Electricity Consumer, I want data associated with my electricity supply to be made consistently available to Market Participants relevant organisations, so that they have equal access to the data they use to supply my electricity or look after my meter.
  2. As an EES User, I want to have access to all the data items appropriate to my EES User Category so that I can operate processes without disruption, to provide a good service to my customers and meet my performance targets. As the EES Provider I want to have clarity on the data items that I should provide to EES Users appropriate to their role. As the Code Manager I want Market Participants to have access to appropriate data in EES so they can complete business processes and meet performance targets, while ensuring access to data is subject to appropriate security and controls.

Problem Statement
There is currently a lack of clarity regarding the data items that should be accessible by each EES User Category and there are potentially instances where data restrictions have been placed on EES Users which cannot be justified. The Data Access Matrix does not currently provide a single standardised role-based framework for EES Users’ access to data. This means that the Code Manager and the EES Provider cannot grant and provide EES Users with standardised access for a particular role. This may also result in operational issues for new entrants or can create a situation whereby EES Users in the same role have different access arrangements.

Problem Statement
The ETTOS Service Provider, will be decommissioning their onsite servers on 31 January 2022. Consequently, the ETTOS web portal will no longer be used to provide the ETTOS Service Data (tip-off reports) to ETTOS Recipients. Instead, reports will be sent directly to ETTOS Recipients via encrypted emails. Updates are required to the REC to reflect the changes to the ETTOS report dissemination process.

Problem Statement
BSC CP1532 proposed updates to the Change of Supply (CoS) timescales within BSC Procedures BSCP502, BSCP504 and BSCP514, to align the Half-Hourly and Non-Half Hourly Supplier Agent Appointment and de-Appointment timescales and to facilitate the achievement of the Faster Switching programme objectives. BSC CP1532 was approved on 01 September 2021 by the Supplier Volume Allocation Group (SVG). Following the SVG’s decision to approve, BSCP514 moved to the Retail Energy Code (REC) following the implementation of P420 ‘Retail Code Consolidation Significant Code Review’. A REC Change Proposal is therefore required to deliver the full solution.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer, I want issues affecting me or my energy account to be resolved at the earliest opportunity, to minimise impacts to my energy switch or accurate and timely billing.
  2. As a Consumer, I want industry parties to share my personal data securely so that my data is protected.
  3. As an Energy Supplier, I want to be able to resolve Bilateral Erroneous Transfers effectively and efficiently, so that I can bill my Consumers accurately and timely.
  4. As an Energy Supplier, I want to be able to resolve Bilateral Erroneous Transfers effectively and efficiently, so that I supply Consumers with whom I have a valid contract.
Problem Statement
The SDEP currently only supports direct messaging between two SDEP Users and doesn’t allow for communications to be shared with multiple users (three or more). In circumstances where agreement is required between multiple parties, this needs to be managed outside of the SDEP by telephone and email. This has reportedly resulted in inconsistencies between parties and delays in the resolution process.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As an electricity Consumer, I want requested meter work to take place safely and efficiently at the time and date agreed, so that I have a safe and working meter.
  2. As a MEM or a DNO I want clarity on how to deal with cable labelling during periods of coloured cable supply chain shortages, so that I can continue to install or maintain consumer metering.
  3. As a Metering Scheme Auditor, I want there to be clarity on the permitted labelling of non-standard colour coded cables used when connecting meters, so that audits can be appropriately completed.

Problem Statement
During times of sustained supply chain shortages, some colour coded cables may not generally be available. Where this is the case, Metering Equipment Managers (MEMs) and Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) need to be able to source a suitable alternative cable so that they can continue to install and maintain meters. Although the labelling of cables with different out sheath colours from the inner insulation is covered by the IET Wiring Regulations, this is not set out within the REC Electricity MOCoP.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As an EES User (organisation), I want a method of integrating the service status of the EES API with my systems, so that in the event of EES API outage or disruption I do not trigger unnecessary internal diagnostic activity of my IT systems and processes, and I can initiate appropriate mitigation activity to reduce impacts to my systems and/or the services I provide.
Problem Statement
EES Users do not have a method of integrating the service status of the EES API with their systems. EES Users could experience disruption in their systems/services, caused by EES API disruption or outage. EES Users are not able to automatically identify the root cause of API outages/disruption and may initiate unnecessary internal diagnostic activity after seeing disruption in their systems/services
