Category 3 Change Proposals

C3-0091 – Changes to Metering Expert Panel Terms of Reference to support alternate R0170 solution was raised on 08 August 2024 and has now proceeded to Consultation.

This change puts the STIRG document under bespoke voting arrangements, where unanimous approval is required from the Network Operator and MEM representatives that are directly affected by the document (e.g. the DNO and electricity MEM). This puts the document back under very similar arrangements as it was under MOCoPA, which all Parties agree worked.

C3-0092 – Performance Assurance Methodology and Techniques was raised on 08 August 2024 and will be implemented on 16 August 2024.

This change amends the Performance Assurance Methodology and Techniques document and provides an acknowledgement of the Performance Assurance Board’s role in relation to the previous updates to the change process and provides additional general housekeeping updates.

Theft Issues Group (TIG)

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. 

Please contact committees@recmanager.co.uk to express your interest.
