Gas Information Review Proposal UNC Transmission Workstream 5th April 2007 Chris Logue
Information Provision • Provision of Market Information has grown considerably in past few years • Currently approx. 700 data items are regularly published • 121 separate reports are produced • Market has changed • Information requirements may have moved on; • Some data may have been obsolete • A number of reports are rarely viewed • Some data may be duplicated • E.g. actual demand published in 4 places • Some data may be superceded • E.g. are hourly flows still required when similar information available on more frequent basis
Network Code Operational Reporting Manual • Much of the UNC obligated information contained within the NCORM • NCORM is very prescriptive not only about the data to be published but also how it is published. • Pdf reports may not be the most efficient delivery format going forward. • NCORM is full of strange acronyms
UNC Review Proposal • National Grid to launch a UMC Review Proposal • Review all data published on website. • Except recently implemented changes • Identify data of little use • Identify duplicated data • Identify possible gaps in the data • Review NCORM and suggest how this may be simplified to allow more efficient and user friendly data provision
UNC Review Proposal • Timetable • Discuss at April Transmission Workstream • Formalise review group at April mod panel • Complete in 5 or 6 months with proposal(s) for changes (if required) • Review Group • Members required from all interested parties • Important that consumers are well represented • Commitment given for regular updates at the DSWG
Website Upgrade • Move to a ‘3 tier’ page structure • Provide a flexible interface for users • Provide information in ‘Data-centric’ way rather than reports • Front page providing prevailing information, with options for deep diving to more detail • Download information provided in an intuitive way • Reports available for commonly used info • APIs for all ‘key’ data

Reports (Reports) • Reports are either • a series of predefined Data Items that have been identified as a set of Data Points that users commonly retrieve. • Data points that are obligated within code to be provided within a single report (currently NCORM) • A series of Data Points that logically provide a holistic view of an issue or field of interest • End users define Period for View or Download • Content defined but period selectable to maximise benefits to users and minimise effort required to access the full dataset required
