Capacity/Commodity SplitImpact on Suppressed reconciliations Distribution Workstream 24th April 2008 Linda Whitcroft
Capacity/Commodity Split & Suppressed Reconciliations • Distribution Network Pricing Consultations • Distribution Networks proposed change to current regime • Increase the capacity element of the Local Distribution Zone (LDZ) system charges • Move to 95% capacity and 5% commodity • Effective 1 October 2008 • Final decision published during December 2007 by Ofgem
Capacity/Commodity Split/Suppressed Reconciliations • Suppressed Reconciliations • Introducing a capacity/commodity 95:5 split will distort the results of the filter failure mechanism if not redesigned. • Erroneous charges would be released • Risk to all Shippers • Analysis was carried out xoserve to ascertain changes required to keep the same population of filter failures following the price changes NB. Currently 89% of suppressed reconciliations are adjusted with 11% being approved Analysis included changes to TRE (NRE and ZRE) charges – as per current process and ZRE only
Recommended Option • Move to a ZRE Filter • Shown to provide the best MPRN selection match to the current filter • Less subject to change due to NRE not being used • Therefore parameter values not expected to be modified on regular basis, hence fewer consultations and changes to Suppression Guidelines required • Reduces risk of non ability to amend the parameter values in line with price changes • Date specific filters – TRE used until 30/9/08 and ZRE used from 1/10/08
