Latest Update
10/04/2026 - Change has been taken of hold. This change will be triggered for a reassessment for Code Manager Impact on 14/04/2026.
Summary
When Meter Point Administration Numbers (MPANs) are erroneously disconnected, they cannot be reinstated. As a result, Consumers suffer billing issues and Registered Suppliers cannot settle against the disconnected MPAN. This change seeks to introduce a mechanism to restore erroneously disconnected MPANs.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer, I do not want the erroneous disconnection of my MPAN to affect the continuity of my supply contract and billing arrangements.
  2. As a DNO, I want to be able to reverse erroneous disconnections with no lasting effect so that I don’t need to create a new MPAN to resolve the issue, thereby avoiding DUoS payment collection issues. 2 - As a Supplier, I want to be able to reverse erroneous disconnections with no lasting effect so that I can correctly bill my consumers. 3 - As the CSS, I want users to be able to effectively resolve discrepancies, so that industry data for their portfolio is accurate. 4 - As MPRS, I want users to be able to effectively resolve discrepancies, so that industry data for their portfolio is accurate.
Problem Statement
When MPANs are incorrectly identified and targeted for disconnection, the RMP will be erroneously terminated following receipt of Termination Market Messages by the CSS. This process is irreversible once triggered, meaning that there is no mechanism to restore the MPAN as it was previously. This results in a poor Consumer experience, and settlement misbalancing for Registered Suppliers. Currently, there is no mechanism to mitigate the negative impact on Registered Suppliers/DNO and Consumers.

Proposed solution summary
  1. As a Consumer, I want to be able to successfully switch my Energy Supplier with minimal delay or hassle, so that I can start to receive the service and tariff from my chosen Energy Supplier at the earliest opportunity.
  2. As the Authority, I want the necessary changes made to the Retail Energy Code to introduce the obligations, processes and provisions for the new switching arrangements, to enable the successful transition to enduring governance and operational arrangements.
  3. As a REC Party, I want to be clear on the obligations I need to meet and the processes I need to follow post CSS go live, to ensure my organisation is ready for the introduction of the new switching arrangements.
  4. As a REC Service Provider, I want to be clear on the obligations, processes and service standards that I need to meet, to ensure my organisation is ready for the introduction of the new switching arrangements.
