P315: Suppliers’ Meter Volume and MPAN counts
Formal title: Publication of Gross Supplier Market Share Data
Current Status
Summary
P315 proposes to provide further transparency on Suppliers’ Meter Volume and MPAN counts.
To help all Parties understand the gross Supplier market shares, the volumes will exclude embedded generation and will be broken down by Market Participant ID (MPID), customer type, Active Export (AE)/Active Import (AI) and Half Hourly/Non Half Hourly.
Some market level consumption data will also be made available to a wider range of market participants.
