The next SEC monthly Working Group meeting will be held on 2 April 2025, starting at 10:00.  At this meeting SEC plan to discuss:

• MP169 ‘Managing SEC Obligations and the Consumers Right to Refuse a Smart Meter’ – this modification proposes to introduce a ‘Restricted Attribute to SMETS2 Devices in credit mode, which would limit the Service Requests which can be retrieved from the Device. We plan to discuss the implementation approach for this modification, particularly whether the modification should be included in the new DSP.

DCUSA change DCP419 – Pre-Notifications of Planned Supply De-Energisations is looking to place obligations on any Party or agent to update the DNO before any planned de-energisation or communications interruptions on sites with a Smart Meter. This is to allow DNOs to be able to manage any off-supply notifications.

I0216 – REC Changes to tie in with DCP419 has been raised to make the appropriate changes to the REC in due course, but for now, discussions are being led by DCUSA through a DCP419 working group. MOAs and SIPs, or any Market Participant with an interest in I0216, are invited to attend the DCP419 working group.

The next working group is scheduled to be held on 03 February 2025 between 13:00 – 16:00. If you would like to attend this working group, please contact DCUSA@electralink.co.uk.
