SEC New Changes Raised

MP285 ‘Radio Teleswitch Service switch off’ proposes to allow installing Parties to install cellular technology Communications Hubs, where Long Range Radio (LRR) installations are not possible in the North Geographical Region, e.g., where a full Install and Commission (I&C) cannot be completed or cannot be connected, and where Radio Teleswitch (RTS) meters are being replaced.

DP287 ‘Access to historic GSME battery Alerts’ raises the issue of how currently, Suppliers do not have visibility of historic Alerts relating to the GSME. This means that if the battery ran out of power before the Supplier gained that consumer, they will be unable to identify whether the Gas Meter is unresponsive because of a spent battery or other reasons. This also means that Supplier’s are unable to fully complete the CoS process as they are unable to replace the Certificates on the Device.
