The Theft Issues Group (TIG) invites you to join its next meeting on 28 August 2024 to discuss, refine and understand the practical implications of its first Change Proposals in the theft space.

1. Theft Detection Incentive Scheme (TDIS) 

TIG has been considering how the TDIS can be changed to address some of the issues identified, including extending the scope of incentive payments to include investigative work that does not lead to a confirmed theft. 

1. Desktop and Site Visit Definitions for Theft Investigations 

This change will clarify what level of work and evidence is needed from Parties when conducting investigations to indicate Code compliance and to be accounted for under any schemes incentivising these activities.
