MOD 640 INVOICING VALIDATION RULES Stefan Leedham 22nd October 2009
BACKGROUND • Mod 640: • Implemented June 2004 • Aim to encourage Shippers to proactively manage their SSP to LSP crossers in the year • Only applied to sites were AQ increased by more than 15,000 kWh and 20% • Excluded sites which had changed supplier during the year • Mod 0095 • Allowed reconciliation of SSP to LSP crossers when there had been a change in the registered Shipper
THE ISSUE • For SSP to LSP crossers that have changed registered User the old Shipper has no way of validating the Mod 640 charge • Old Shippers rely on blind faith that the incoming Shipper(s) have correctly managed the site • We have limited information to support and query the mod 640 invoice • There are sites which EDF Energy have been invoiced for were all of our data suggests that the site was a SSP during our period of ownership
EDF ENERGY’S VIEW • Shippers should have access to supporting information to validate the Mod 640 invoices • For sites that are no longer registered to the Shipper this should include relevant information used for calculating the AQ: • Relevant Meter Readings • Meter Asset information • When should this information be provided - with 640 invoice or provisional AQ calculation? • Once this information is available is there a requirement to develop a process to ensure costs are targeted at the correct Shipper? • Would this require a dispute mechanism – in or out of UNC?
WAY FORWARD • Requirement for UNC Review proposal? • Are there any additional issues/areas that should be discussed? • Impacts on xoserve’s systems? • Data protection issues?
