Proposed solution summary
  1. As an Energy Consumer, I want to be quoted the correct rates as part of my contract conversation when switching supplier. I want my meter set-up correctly to be able to utilise secondary electricity loads at specific times for specific purposes. (e.g., overnight Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, Heat/Hot Water, Boost, etc.). I want to be assured that I will have access to electricity when I need it. I want to switch to my chosen Supplier without any delays or issues.
  2. As an Energy Supplier, I need to identify meter types with Auxiliary Proportional Controllers (APCs) at a property, so that I can offer my customer the correct tariff and configure their meter correctly.
  3. As a Meter Equipment Manager (MEM), I need to identify meter types that incorporate Auxiliary Proportional Controllers (APCs) are present at a property, so that any necessary maintenance/repair work can be carried out appropriately.

Problem Statement
Currently there is no way to identify new meter types that incorporate Auxiliary Proportional Controllers (APCs) outside of the DCC Smart Metering Inventory. Failure to correctly identify these could result in an incorrect meter type being assigned to a supply point. Failure to accurately record where meter types that incorporate Auxiliary Proportional Controllers (APCs) are at a property could result in the meter not being configured correctly by the Supplier. This may impact switching, timely and accurately billing, and industry settlements. Options need to be considered to accurately record what meter types that incorporate Auxiliary Proportional Controllers (APCs) are installed at a property.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a consumer, I want to ensure the data held by my supplier and other industry parties is correct so that I receive accurate and timely bills so that I understand what I need to pay and by when with no surprises.
  2. As a consumer, I want to be able to switch my energy supply without experiencing significant delays whilst my new and old supplier resolve any issues. So that I can see the benefits of switching at the earliest opportunity.
  3. As an SDEP User, I want to be able to automate processes that use the SDEP, so I can meet my obligations as efficiently and effectively as possible. As an EES or SDES User, I want to be able to automate certain user maintenance requests, so I can manage user maintenance activities as efficiently as possible.

Problem Statement
It is not possible to automate the sending and receiving messages through the SDEP. It is also not possible to manage Authorised Person’s permissions in the EES and SDES in bulk where there is a high volume of changes required. This requires processes to be managed manually by an Authorised Person and doesn’t allow EES and SDES Users to identify more efficient ways of working.

Problem Statement
BSC Modification P375 will be implemented on 30th June 2022 and introduces a new role of Asset Metering Virtual Lead Party (AMVLP), to allow settlement of meters ‘behind the boundary point’. To enable this, the AMVLP will need to exchange Market Messages with other Market Participants that underpin the new process being introduced by the BSC. Some of these Market Messages are governed by the REC and require a consequential REC Change Proposal 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 SDEP Authorised Person with the responsibility for message allocation, I want to efficiently assign multiple messages in one transaction to an Authorised Person, to remove the need to manual assign them one by one.
  3. As a SDEP Authorised Person with the responsibility for message allocation, I want to be able to filter messages to identify messages requiring action. This will ensure messages are picked up promptly and resolved within the agreed Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Problem Statement
Currently in the SDEP there is no way to assign/unassign multiple messages to Authorised Persons in one action, this makes the allocation of messages inefficient. Each message must be individually opened before it can be assigned/unassigned. Not having clarity on the status of messages, or the ability to assign multiple messages to an Authorised Person as one action, may result in the allocation of queries being delayed, potentially impacting response times for queries and escalations. Any delays in resolving those queries could have a detrimental impact on the customer’s experience. There is also limited methods of effectively identifying and being able to filter messages requiring action on the home screen. This effects the Authorised Person’s ability to promptly allocate and resolve messages within the agreed Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Latest Update
08/07/2024 - R0006 has been withdrawn as the issue has been addressed under R0121 - SDEP Review Improvements - Process Types.
Summary
When a Switch occurs, with a concurrent change of Metering Equipment Manager (MEM), and the Meter Technical Details (MTD) are not received by the Gaining Supplier’s MEM, they are unable to provide them to the Gaining Supplier. Lack of MTDS can impact Consumers, Suppliers, and other industry Parties. The Change Proposer has highlighted that there is currently no defined escalation process available to Suppliers, enabling them to chase for missing MTDs following a Switch.

Problem Statement
On a CoS the new MEM and Supplier need to receive the MTDs from the previous MEM to complete the setup of the customer’s account and billing records. Where MTD are not sent there is no dispute or escalation process to resolve this. This prevents the new Supplier from setting up the customer’s account and issuing a timely and accurate bill.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a consumer, I want to my queries to be resolved in a timely manner by advisers with access to relevant information, so that I receive accurate and timely bills.
  2. As an EES User (an organisation): I want to receive reports of Meter Point Limit Breaches in the absence of the MAU, to enable the analysis of EES usage and to enable limit breaches to be identified and responded to. I also want all approved people to have access to the EES in a timely manner following the introduction of a new email domain, so that the EES can be used to support with issue and query resolution.
  3. As an MAU, I want email domain changes to be validated in my absence, to avoid delays to new users being set up with EES access.
Problem Statement
Where an MAU is not available, and MAU responsibilities within EES have not been transferred, the functions and information only available to this role cannot be accessed by the organisation. This has the potential to impact an organisations operational effectiveness.

Proposed solution summary

Problem Statement
The Data Specification was not included in the Switching Programme Change Requests that gave effect to REC V2.0. Therefore, the Data Specification was not formally designated as part of REC V2.0 and has temporarily been added to the REC Baseline Statement as a Category 3 product. This means that changes to the Data Specification, including changes to Market Messages and Data Items used by market participants to interface with other businesses and service providers, are not subject to the process set out in the REC Change Management Schedule. Changes to these artefacts can have significant impacts to the systems and processes of market participants and service providers. These changes should follow a robust and thorough assessment to ensure these impacts are identified and considered, and the most appropriate solution is considered. The Category 3 change process is not appropriate for this, as changes to Category 3 products should not cause a material impact to parties and stakeholders.

Problem Statement
SEC Modification Proposal 077 proposes to update the values, and business rules, of the DCC Service Flag Data Item. This will allow users to use the Data Item as originally intended, to establish whether there is an active smart meter in the DCC network that they can communicate with at a premises. This modification has been approved for implementation on 4th November 2021 by the SEC, and a consequential change is required to the Data Specification to reflect this.
