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.

Proposed solution summary
- As an electricity Consumer I want to be able to verify the attending agent’s identity so I can feel safe at my Premises whilst work is completed and trust the Energy industry to care about my safety.
- As an electricity Consumer I want to be able to verify the attending agent’s identity so that work can be completed efficiently, without delay or confusion.
- As an Electricity Supplier I want my Appointed Metering Equipment Manager to be identifiable when attending Consumer Sites to retain Consumer confidence, trust and for works to be completed without delay.
- As a Metering Equipment Manager, I want clarity around the requirements regarding identity cards to be clear so that I can assure compliance and easily identify myself to consumers at site.
- 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.

Proposed solution summary
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Proposed solution summary
- 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.
- 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.

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.

16/05/2023 - At the Change Panel meeting on 02 May 2023, the recommendations set out in the SDEP Review Report were approved. This included the initiation of 6 Change Proposal groups, including a group that captures Multilateral Erroneous Switches and the functionality changes required within R0016. As a consequence Change Proposal R0016 - Resolution of Bilateral Erroneous Transfers has been withdrawn. The requirements identified under R0016 will be taken forward under a new SDEP review related Change Proposal.
Summary
This Change Proposal is to introduce a more consistent and efficient mechanism for Suppliers to use when investigating and resolving Bilateral Erroneous Transfers.

Proposed solution summary
- 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.
- As a Consumer, I want industry parties to share my personal data securely so that my data is protected.
- 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.
- 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
- As an electricity consumer with an Advanced Meter, I want my usage data to be accessed remotely from my meter, to reduce the need for on-site visits and ensure that I receive timely and accurate bills.
- As the Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) Programme I want to see an effective, early migration of NHH settled Advanced Meters to HH settled, to reduce the risk of missed migration deadlines and ensuring sufficient time to resolve ‘problem’ sites ahead of the MHHS migration deadline.
- As an Energy Supplier I want to obtain usage remotely, reducing the need for on-site metering reading activity, enabling me to settle and bill accurately. As a Metering Equipment Manager (MEM), I need to understand any changes to obligations that may impact my business, so I can engage in the change process and plan any required changes to my systems, processes and organisation.

Problem Statement
The Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) is seeking to mandate the Half-Hourly Settlement of Advanced Meters ahead of the transition to Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement. In order to support this transition, these meters will need to support remote communications to allow half hourly consumption data to be collected. There is currently no explicit requirement for Energy Suppliers and/or Metering Equipment Managers to ensure these meters have working remote communications, which could impact the successful migration of these meters to the new arrangements.

Problem Statement
The implementation of REC V2, as part of the Retail Code Consolidation SCR, was due to consolidate the existing provisions in other codes into the REC on a like-for-like basis. The Code Manager has identified that there were changes made to previous codes that weren’t reflected in the REC V2 drafting that was implemented. This means that the current processes being operated by industry parties are not reflected in the REC. REC Party's and Service Providers rely on the REC to provide a consistent baseline to ensure the industry operate in an effective and interoperable way. There are currently inconsistencies between the drafting of the REC, and the processes operated by REC Party's and Service Providers, which could cause issues in the effective operation and assurance of the retail energy market.
