Following further analysis and engagement with the proposer, the Code Manager has revisited its consideration of Change Proposal R0072 – Introduction of a new Meter Asset Condition Code

Despite earlier acceptance of the Change Proposal, the Code Manager believes that the proposal is not relevant to the REC and cannot progress any further.

Consequently, Change Proposal R0072 has been rejected and raised to Ofgem to consider further

The following Consultations have been published and can be accessed from the Consultations Register on the REC Portal.

• R0209 – Implementation of MHHS Arrangements
• R0206 – Cross code change to align with BSC CP1598

Please note, Version 3.015 of the Central Products List (CPL) is now available. The new workbook can be downloaded here.

On the 10 September, the Code Manager published the Change Reports containing the Proposal Plans for the following:

• I0168 – Clarify and Strengthen CRS Provider’s Requirements

Following the publication of Ofgem’s consultation on the future of the Centralised Registration Service (CRS), otherwise known as Switching, and initial analysis of consultation responses, Ofgem has issued a survey to REC and SEC parties in order to receive further insight into industry’s views surrounding the costs and benefits as well as the risks if responsibility for the CRS was removed from the DCC Licence and transferred to the Retail Energy Code. Take two minutes to complete this survey by the extended deadline of 19 September 2024.

If any respondents would like to discuss any of the questions, please contact louise.burns@ofgem.gov.uk.
