SEC Consultation : MP277 ‘Virtual Gateway Connection’

Posted on by AMO Gemserv

The following SEC modification is currently out for consultation, with the deadline for responses closing 13 January 2025 

MP277 ‘Virtual Gateway Connection’

MP277 proposes to implement a Virtual Routing & Forwarding (VRF) component and new virtual Firewall for each cloud connected DCC Gateway Party. The Firewall will route traffic between each DCC Gateway Party’s VRF and the associated Smart Metering Equipment Technical Specifications (SMETS)2 VRF. The Firewall would only allow a DCC Gateway Party to access the DSP, Trusted Service Provider (TSP), testing environments and Service Now (SNOW). The Proposed Solution will also provide the option for prospective, new and existing DCC Users to connect to the DCC through a virtual DCC Gateway Connection by selecting a virtual connection from the DSP Service Catalogue. In addition, the DCC will likely need to make changes to the DCC Charging Statement to reflect costs associated with a virtual DCC Gateway Connection.
