January data published on 13 January 2021

On 13 January 2021 we published a large Market Domain Data (MDD) set, which includes several of the Distributed Network Operator (DNO) changes required to meet Ofgem’s Targeted Charging Review (TCR) requirements. The data set includes the TCR changes for the remaining Host Distributed Network Operators DNOs and includes 13 out of 14 Grid Supply Point (GSP) Groups.

This data set will go live on 20 January 2021.

We published the December MDD data set on Wednesday 9 December 2020, which went live on Wednesday 16 December 2020. This published data set did not contain any TCR changes. We will continue to monitor the progress of the MDD published for December and listen to feedback from parties.

We will continue to validate Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO) Change Requests for the time being, and will seek approval from the SVG to progress these after we have completed industry testing.
