CP1309 – Include reference to D0303 in BSCP514 and circumstances in which its use is mandatory

Formal title: Include reference to D0303 in BSCP514 and circumstances in which its use is mandatory

Summary

British Gas has raised CP1309. Changes in the provision of metering services to British Gas in 2010 will increase the number of entities that provide service to Meter Asset Provider (MAP) and Meter Asset Maintainer (MAM). There is a risk that the data available to the MAP being out of date will increase. This separation of MAM and MAP roles can be expected to become more widespread as smart metering is deployed. CP1309 proposes that the Meter Operator must send the D0303 ‘Notification of Meter Operator, Supplier and Metering Assets installed/removed by the MOP to the MAP’ to the MAP in some circumstances (except where the MOP and MAP are the same commercial entity). This change would be achieved though amending BSCP514 – – ‘SVA Metering for Metering Systems Registered in SMRS’ to include reference to the D0303.
