Delays in Completing Registration of New Connections • We are currently investigating a small number of sites that may not have been advised as energised and so registration has not been completed • We will also review the controls in this area with Networks to ensure that they are adequate • Transmission Connected Sites • Provision of data for 5 new sites unresolved • PDS and Nat Grid in ongoing discussions MRSO

Retail Market Design Service Update C. Madden, RMDS
Retail Market Design Service Update Learning Point: • Change of Supplier Read Arrangements • A couple of Market Participants have submitted 010 messages in the recent past with Read Arrangement of SC or CR and a Required Date into the future • Market Participants should not populate the Required Date where the read type is SC • Market Participants need only populate the Required Date where the read type is CR and the reading is on the 010 message • 010 messages with Required Dates well into the future will mean that the Change of Supplier process will wait until the date has been reached
Retail Market Design Service Update • Quality Review • Internal review of quality processes as well as Market processes ongoing • Stakeholder Meetings • Initial contact made with some Market Participants to arrange meetings in the next few weeks • Plan to be compiled following stakeholder meetings and submitted to CER following stakeholder meetings.
