1 Stage 01: Request 0XXX: Meter Reading Submissin fr Advanced & Smart Metering At what stage is this dcument in the prcess? The rllut f Advanced and Smart Metering delivers the pprtunity t utilise mre frequent cnsumptin data thrughut industry prcesses at marginal cst. This prpsal is t cnsider requiring Shippers t utilise Class 3 and abve were such equipment is utilised.

3 1 Request Why is the Request being made? The rllut f advanced and smart metering in the UK Gas market prvides an pprtunity fr mre Granular Cnsumptin Data (Data) t be prvided int Central Industry Systems at marginal cst. The benefits f such Data being prvided culd drive mre accurate cst allcatin. The Cmpetitin Markets Authrity final reprt specifically mentins the benefits assciated mre frequent readings being available fr settlement Currently there are n requirements/bligatins t prvide mre frequent meter readings shuld a Smart/Advanced meter be installed and that this Request is t cnsider ptins fr the prvisin f this data n a mre frequent basis t supprt the Settlement prcess. Steve Mulinganie 10/8/16 13:08 Frmatted: Highlight We believe it is timely t cnsider the utilisatin f mre granular cnsumptin data within central industry prcesses. Scpe The wrkgrup wuld be asked t cnsider the merit f requiring that Supply Pints with Smart and Advanced metering installed and peratinal such be required t perate in Class 3 and/r abve. The wrkgrup wuld be asked t cnsider: - Ø Benefits frm mre frequent Data being available including (but nt limited t) Back Office Efficiencies Reduced risk f histric and/r large recnciliatins Reduced finance csts / credit cver requirements Reduced unidentified Gas Scaling factr vlatility Ø Other cnsideratins Facilitating market entry CMA utcme Additinal granularity t supprt Demand mdelling Electricity market arrangements Impact n Offtake meter errrs Identificatin f eligible Supply Pints in Central Systems Timing pst NEXUS plus [X] Pst RAASP plus [X] Impact n faster and mre reliable switching Perfrmance Assurance Framewrk Supplier/Shipper tipping pints when cnsidering UNC Prduct Class 0xxx Page 3 f 8 Versin 1.0 Request 2016 all rights reserved Day Mnth Year

4 Nte: When designing NEXUS Class 4 was intrduced t ensure the status qu fr Supply Pints which currently did nt have access t smart r advanced metering Impacts & Csts The areas that may be impacted are discussed in the Scpe sectin hwever the prvisin f mre granular cnsumptin data may be expected t deliver benefits in Settlement. We wuld nte that the NEXUS systems were built t be scalable in line with Smart Metering rllut and we d nt envisage material extra cst in relatin t central industry systems. Fr ther users we believe the cst f prvisin f mre Granular cnsumptin data t be a matter f marginal cst. Recmmendatins The rllut f advanced and smart metering slutins prvides access t cnsumptin granularity at marginal cst. It is imprtant that the efficiencies envisaged t supprt the cst benefit case fr the prgram are nt lst and such benefits are leveraged acrss the whle market. With the implementatin f prject NEXUS and the ability t supprt mre granular cnsumptin data we shuld examine the benefits f ensuring this granularity is nt lst in central systems and prcesses. I[t is prpsed that this Request is sent t the Distributin Wrkgrup fr cnsideratin and that a Reprt shuld be prvided by January 2017 Panel Additinal Infrmatin We acknwledge that we are in the prcess f undertaking a number f significant industry prjects hwever it is clear frm the utput frm the CMA that a directin f travel is being set and the industry needs t demnstrate that it is fully leveraging the benefits f these prgrams. 2 Impacts and Csts Cnsideratin f Wider Industry Impacts We have nt identified a specific material negative impact assciated with undertaking this review User Pays Classificatin f the mdificatin as User Pays, r nt, and the justificatin fr such classificatin.
