CP1541 ‘Use of D0004 in BSCP502’

The CP Progression Paper was presented to SVG on 2 March 2021.  SVG provided no additional comments and unanimously agreed to progress the CP to the Consultation phase.

Next Steps

CP1541 will go out for Industry Consultation on Monday 8 March 2021.

CP1541 was raised by Centrica on 22 February 2021.

Why Change?

There is currently no prescribed mechanism for Half Hourly Data Collectors (HHDCs) to inform a Supplier, via a dataflow, if they have been unable to manually retrieve consumption data where a Site Visit has been arranged.  This process currently relies on bilateral discussions between HHDCs and Suppliers rather than a consistent Industry process.

Without receipt of a D0004, Suppliers can be reliant on informal methods of communication to understand the results of a Site Visit, or an assumption the Site Visit has been unsuccessful without the additional information can provide to ensure HH data can be retrieved in future via Site Visit Check Codes (SVCCs).

Next Steps

The CP Progression Paper will be presented to SVG on 2 March 2021.
