On 19 July 2024, the REC Metering Expert Panel voted to approve the following Final Change Report:

• R0181 – Schedule 14 – Metering Operations Footnote Review. Subject to no appeal being raised, this will be implemented in an extraordinary REC Release on 23 August 2024.

A refreshed version of the REC Code Roadmap is now available.  It presents the priority work items that the REC Code Manager is delivering now and in the near future that are resulting, or could result, in changes to the REC.

Points to note from V1.4 include:

• Metering theme continues to have significant focus and activity; this currently includes:

• • the review of the CoMCoP under R0152 – Revision to the Consolidated Metering Code of Practice (CoMCoP)
  • a new Issue I0172 looking at the end to end New Connections process (cross codes RFI currently open)
  • a review of Gas MAM processes that is likely to lead to new changes shortly
  • R0177 to facilitate review and amendment of the SMIS questions
  • Several changes to make the REC metering provisions simpler and more accessible e.g. moving footnotes into the main Schedule 14 text (R0181) and moving obligations out of the REC where best placed elsewhere (R0170).

The Code elements of the July 2024 (3.11.1) REC Release have been implemented today, 19 July 2024. This Release introduces one change:

• R0167 – Change Process Improvements following Code Manager review
