This form is only for the use of Facility Operators.

Q. What happens after a Declaration is submitted?
A. Once a Facility Operator completes and submits a Declaration form on the website, this is sent to the facility Director for approval. This form can be approved or rejected based on the information provided.
If the Director approves a Declaration, it will then be sent to the Supplier via the Kinnect Customer Solution. The Facility Operator and Director will both receive a confirmation email with a PDF attachment containing the details of their submission.
The Supplier will receive the submitted Declaration through the Kinnect Customer Solution, this will be in draft status and the Supplier will check/amend any details and submit to the Supplier Volume Allocation Agent (SVAA) for further validation.
The Supplier will notify you if the Declaration has been successful or not and can confirm the associated Declaration ID.
If the Director rejects the Declaration, the Declaration will be sent back to you via an email notification with the reason for rejection. The email will contain a link where the draft Declaration can be viewed and amended where necessary before re-submitting.
Q. What happens when a Facility has a new Director?
A. If a Director of a facility changes at any time after the first application, there is no action to be taken until a new Declaration is submitted by the Facility Operator.
When a new Declaration is submitted, the new Director’s signature will be checked and validated as active in Companies House as part of the validation for a submitted Declaration (this covers all types of Declarations).
Q. How do I submit a declaration when a site has more than one Supplier?
A. Where the Metering Systems at an SVA Non-Final Demand Facility are registered by more than one Supplier you can submit a SVA Non-Final Demand Declaration document via the web form for each Supplier by using the ‘Submit & Clone’ option.
This will replicate the details entered for the Facility and allow you to enter the details for the other Supplier(s).
