Latest Update
21/11/2025 - Following a review of the impact assessments received for the technical solution required to deliver R0148, taking into account the timelines, costs and the pending decision on the Evolution of the Enquiry Services, a positive business case cannot be demonstrated at this time. RECCo have, therefore, made the decision to withdraw R0148 and look at how the technical objectives can be met through the Evolution of the Enquiry Services. The adoption window has closed.
Summary
Currently Enquiry Services Data is only available to users whose roles and purposes for access are detailed within the Data Access Matrix (DAM). RECCo has undertaken a project to look at REC controlled data sources and created a Metadata Catalogue based on a Data Classification Model. This details the data items along with descriptions, identification of the associated data, roles, responsibilities, and classification. The output of this work will be utilised to improve access to Enquiry Services Data by making certain data items (defined as Always Open) easily available to everyone and simplifying the approval process for data items which can be made available if certain conditions have been met.

Currently the REC has a focus on role-based access to data items within the Enquiry Services as detailed in Schedule 12 – Data Access. However, a system and process where data items are released by virtue of the data item is needed.

Latest Update
This change was implemented as part of the the Extraordinary release on 28 March 2024. *This Change Proposal has no impacts on Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement
Summary
This Change Proposal seeks to introduce the necessary governance and charging arrangements into the Retail Energy Code, to reconcile the impact on Domestic Energy Suppliers of levelling the cost of standing charges to Domestic Consumers paying by means of a Prepayment Meter with those paying by Direct Debit. This proposal is being raised on a contingent basis pending the decision of the Authority on whether to modify the standard conditions of the Gas and Electricity Supply Licences to levelise standing charges. That decision is expected in January 2024. This Change Proposal is being progressed in anticipation of the reconciliation of levelisation costs being administered by the Retail Energy Code Company.

  3. As RECCo, I want my responsibilities in relation to the development and administration of the levelisation scheme to be clearly set out in the REC so that I can successfully deliver the scheme for the industry.

  1. As a Consumer, I want a competitive Export market so I can get the best rates for the energy I generate. I want clear metering equipment ownership so I can be confident my meter is functional and safe. I want accurate billing from my Export Supplier.
  2. As an Export Supplier, I want to be able to appoint the MEM that ties in with my commercial strategy.
  3. As a MEM, I want clear guidance on the responsibilities I have for any metering equipment I am appointed to.
Problem Statement
Export Suppliers may become non-compliant with industry regulations if they are unable to appoint the same MEM as the Import Supplier, for example when the Consumer switches Import Supplier or when the Import Supplier changes the appointed MEM.

This is a Housekeeping Change Proposal subject to the Housekeeping Change Proposal process, rather than the standard change process. The nature of the change is that it makes non-material changes to the REC Products to correct typographical and consistency errors.

  2.

Schedule 22 says that within 10 Working Days after the end of each MSC-4-Week Cycle, RECCo shall send each Energy Supplier a statement in respect of that MSC-4-Week Cycle. This contradicts the 15 days set out in the Process Maps shared with Parties during the development of the administration arrangements of the Market Stabilisation Charge. Additionally, suppliers are querying how they may raise a dispute when they believe they are not entitled to the monies stated on Credit Advice Notices as this process is not set out in the Schedule.

Summary
A Balancing & Settlement Code (BSC) Modification P441 is looking to introduce additional Complex Site classes which would categorise the types of Complex Site, with each having clearly defined criteria within the BSC, whilst also facilitating a new "type" of Complex Site (referred to as a Class 6 Complex Site) to allow approval of "non-standard" complex sites. It will also clarify when the netting of Imports from Exports for multiple Metering Systems registered in Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA) is permitted.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a consumer, I want more choice to take up low-carbon technology and more flexible energy solutions through local energy schemes, such as the Ofgem BEIS Smart System Flexibility Plan and any other future flexibility service provisions that may be developed.
  2. For MEMs, l want to remove ambiguity around the current Complex Site arrangements and will facilitate the advancement of community energy schemes.
  3. For Suppliers, I want to encourage more innovation that will lead to the better use of local energy schemes.
Problem Statement
The introduction of new Complex Site classes is needed into the REC to make the solutions under P441 and DCP 424 work. Meter Equipment Managers (MEMs) will need to understand what their new obligations are in respect of metering requirements, as well as impacts on any of the metering processes associated with a Complex Site.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a new Market Participant, I want to be able to implement Electricity industry solutions and initiatives utilising industry systems that require me to be assigned a MPRC
  2. As an existing Market Participant, I want to be able to define my interactions with other Market Participants using unique Market Role code identifiers As the BSC, I want to be able to assign new MPRCs so that we can fulfil requests as part of new market solutions
  3. As a new or existing Market Participant, I want to be able to continue sending and receiving Market Messages which include the MPRC within the file
Problem Statement
Under the current logical format there are only 36 possible MPRCs available for the Electricity industry, and they have all been allocated. The BSC are therefore currently unable to allocate new MPRCs and propose to update the logical format of the J0001 (DI50001) ‘Market Participant Role Code’. REC owned Market Messages will need to be updated to accommodate the new logical format.

Summary
The Department for Education (DfE) wants to be in a position to support schools in making the best use of the energy commodity use within the educational estate. To do this they need the ability to identify the energy meters in use across the educational estate, so that they support schools and colleges with analogue meters with their upgrade to Smart Meters and understand their energy data usage. Currently the DfE does not have access to the Electricity Enquiry Service data to enable it to understand what electricity meters are installed in schools.
