Providing a process and transition period to remove unsupported assets and mitigate the risk to Settlement.
CP1587 will provide a process to confirm whether Meter/Outstation Types are still manufactured and supported. It will also provide a transition period to remove unsupported assets and mitigate the risk to Settlement of faults on Meters/Outstations occurring which prevent actual data being submitted into Settlement. CP1587 will also establish a process to remove Data Collectors who can no longer support a protocol for a particular Meter/Outstation Type which will reduce erroneous appointments to Data Collectors who cannot support a particular Meter/Outstation Type.
Additionally, CP1587 will reduce the administrative burden on Elexon preparing and presenting a committee information paper where there is already a more effective means, via Newscast, to inform industry of Compliance and Protocol Approval updates.
