Summary
It has been suggested that CHECK meters should not be sent within industry messages so the presence of this value within the valid set may not be required. This Issue has been raised to explore whether this assumption is correct, look at the existing/historic use cases industry have used the CHECK option for, if they are no longer valid and if so why not.

24/08/2026 The Change Report (Proposal Plan and Consultation) has been issued to Change Panel for ex-Committee decision. The proposed legal text can be found in the solutions section below.
Summary
RECCo is implementing the MSC solution in two phases to enable a swift restart of the MSC scheme, should a decision be made to recommence it. Phase one will enable data collection and the tracking of Supplier liabilities, allowing the scheme to commence before the full solution is available. Phase two will introduce the calculation and financial components.

Problem Statement
The REC currently requires statements relating to MSC to be provided to Energy Suppliers within 15 working days of the relevant MSC cycle. However, during the phased implementation of the MSC scheme, this timeframe may not provide sufficient time to reconcile the data collection while the calculation functionality is still under development.

Summary
While undertaking the CRS Improvements Project, RECCo, the Code Manager and DCC completed a review of current reporting that is generated as part of REC Obligations. As part of this review, Address Management-related reports were identified that are not fit for purpose. These reports are produced only for DCC internal consumption. The identified reports are captured in the Performance Assurance Report Catalogue (PARC). As such, DCC proposed raising a REC change to have these removed from the PARC (they will still be available on an ad-hoc on request basis).

Summary
Currently, the location (A0059) data item within the ONAGE APPT file from Suppliers to MAMs is Optional, this allows a Supplier to leave this field blank. Currently SGNCS system functionality is designed to reject the file if this field is blank. This is due to SGNCS requiring to hold the location of the meter installation in order to allow us to deliver on our safety obligations as a MAM in maintaining of an asset.

Quae cum dixisset, finem ille. Quamquam non negatis nos intellegere quid sit voluptas, sed quid ille dicat. Progredientibus autem aetatibus sensim tardeve potius quasi nosmet ipsos cognoscimus. Gloriosa ostentatio in constituendo summo bono. Qui-vere falsone, quaerere mittimus-dicitur oculis se privasse; Duarum enim vitarum nobis erunt instituta capienda. Comprehensum, quod cognitum non habet? Qui enim existimabit posse se miserum esse beatus non erit. Causa autem fuit huc veniendi ut quosdam hinc libros promerem. Nunc omni virtuti vitium contrario nomine opponitur.

Latest Update
25/06/2026 - Issue accepted in by Code Manager
Summary
Currently, there are no clearly defined or standardised categories of work for electricity third-party activities within CoMCoP. This lack of categorisation reduces transparency of company capabilities and scope of work, limits the ability to align accreditation with actual operational activity and restricts the ability to apply targeted, risk-based audit assurance.

19/08/2026 - the Change Report (Proposal Plan) was approved by Change Panel. The Change Team and Performance Assurance team are working together to determine if there are performance assurance requirements for this change.
Summary
An incident where Network Parties did not submit Regulatory Alliances on time to the Central Switching Service (CSS) Provider, or did submit the Regulatory Alliances but did not action rejections from the CSS Provider in a timely manner, led to over 200 Consumers being delayed in Switching to their chosen Energy Supplier. This Change Proposal has been raised to review this process.
