MOD Proposal 0224 Facilitating the use of AMR in the Daily Metered Elective Regime Code User Pays Services 28 May 2009
Objectives • Background to Mod 0224 • Development costs • Forecast service demand • DME Services • Core Service • Reconciliation • Consumption Adjustments • User Pays proposed charges
Background • Mod 0224 seeks to allow users to elect for a daily settlement regime, rather than use the Non Daily Metered (NDM) demand profile • Implementation will allow shippers to submit Daily Metered (DM) reads for eligible sites within their portfolio, based on Meter Point EUC band • Phased approach still being assumed for costing / demand purposes • Proposed solution is to enhance existing DN systems and processes to achieve tactical solution ahead of Project Nexus • Mod 0224 is to be a Code User Pays service. Ongoing services will be included in the Agency Charging Statement (ACS) and follow the approved methodology
DME Development Cost • The re-charge methodology has been agreed as part of the Mod Proposal • Development cost is c.£565k and will be recovered up front • Re-charge for all shippers, based on eligible Meter Points as at 28 April 2009
Demand Forecast • Demand provided by users and collated by Ofgem based on potential price ranges, as shown below • To support charges a linear demand take up has been assumed, so full demand for each phase is not reached until final month of phase
Demand Profile • Linear demand profile assumed for DME Core Service 3,176 1,686 1,490 667 Meter Points 1,019 Phase 3 (18 - 24 months) Phase 1 (12 months) Phase 2 (12 - 18 months)
Code User Pays Services • The DME services will be charged under two categories and follows the approved User Pays charging methodology • DME Core Services • The core activities required by all users to participate in the regime will be charged at a daily rate per Meter Point • “Non performance” related services • There will be a transactional charge per individual “non performance” • Reconciliation Investigations • Consumption Adjustments
DME Core Service • Core DME service activities will be performed by xoserve to facilitate the regime. These include; • Receipt and processing of daily DME reads • Manual validation of reconciliations (as per next slide) • Provision of mandatory reports • Monthly DME uptake report • Weekly DMSP notification report • Invoicing services • User Pays charges • DME read incentive • Shippers will incur charges on a daily basis, following confirmation of Meter Point to DM Elective regime
Reconciliation Investigation • xoserve validates all DM reconciliations. This activity is included in the DME Core Service charge • Types of validation checks include; • Daily energy (GRE, NRE, ZRE charges) • Resynchronisation data • Excessive charges not created • Duplicate checks • Output of validation; • Approved reconciliation – no direct charge • Reconciliation requires further investigation and resolution, due to user error – TRANSACTIONAL CHARGE
Consumption Adjustments • Shipper submits a consumption adjustment to xoserve, which is validated and processed offline. Online adjustments are managed through shipper file submission and included within development costs • Adjustments (after D+5 close out) must be submitted via ADJ1 form and during investigation xoserve may be required to liase with shipper to gain further information to process adjustment • Types of valid adjustments include; • Asset resynchronisation • Faulty equipment • Incorrect asset set up • Consumption adjustments will be charged following processing and receipt on DM invoice - TRANSACTIONAL CHARGE
Proposed Price for Core DME Service • Charge is per Meter Point per day and to forecast to remain static for first 2 years, based on demand • Costs and demand will be published in ACS and will be reviewed as part of the wider ACS review process • Any prices changes will be discussed in principle at the User Pays User Committee
Proposed Transactional Prices • All prices are for delivery of each activity • The costs are based on the estimated time taken to complete the activity and the associated costs of this time • There is also two additional Non Code User Pays reports that will be made available, these will be agreed through User Pays User Committee
Year 3 Forecast • Assuming; • Operational cost remain as forecast • First 2 years demand achieved • Maximum demand reached in 6 month of year 3 • Year 3 daily rate c.£0.07 - £0.12 per MP 4,666 3,176 1,686 Meter Points 1,490 667 1,490 1,019 Phase 3 (18 - 24 months) Phase 2 (12 - 18 months) 24 - 36 months Phase 1 (12 months)
