Smart in the Headlines DECC Statement: Smart meters for energy to be voluntary You may well have seen the Daily Telegraph article published 1 February entitled “Smart meters for energy to be voluntary”. The article goes on to state that officials are devising Plans to force households to have energy smart meters plans to allow people to reject smart meters. This is not the case. There have been no installed have been shelved over health and privacy fears. changes to our plans for smart meters to be rolled out as standard across the country by 2019 We have always positioned the obligation on suppliers as being to “take all reasonable steps” to complete the rollout and made clear that where individual customers have strong reservations we would not expect suppliers to obtain warrants simply to install smart meters. We continue to stress in the media that the rollout of smart meters is an important national programme which will bring big benefits to consumers and the nation Smart meters could lead to huge rise in energy bills Committee of MPs concludes that installation of intelligent meters is open to abuse by suppliers 13

194/04 Including the East-West Interconnector as a BMRA Fuel Type Dean Riddell 9 February 2012
Background Balancing Mechanism Reporting Service (BMRS) reports on the • three existing Interconnectors New Interconnector between Wales and Ireland (the East-West • Interconnector) due to become operational in 2012 To individually report Interconnector data on the BMRS • A Fuel Type Category relating to the Interconnector must be approved • Relevant system and documentation changes must be made • BSC Section Q allows the Panel to approve Fuel Type Categories • for further Interconnectors without change to the BSC 18
Approval of BMRA Fuel Type Category Request Panel approve a BMRA Fuel Type Category relating to the • East-West Interconnector with effect from 28 June 2012 Aligns with June 2012 BSC Systems Release, the last prior to go-live • Recommend no consultation • It is clear the BMRS should report data relating to new Interconnector • No scope to implement associated changes in a different Release prior • to Interconnector go-live, and no benefit in considering a standalone implementation Section Q gives Panel discretion on whether to consult on the decision • to approve a BMRA Fuel Type Category for a new Interconnector 19
Approach for associated changes System and documentation changes needed to enable BMRS • reporting of East-West Interconnector data Cost of BMRS system changes estimated at £64,000 • Change Proposal to ISG following approval of Fuel Type Category • Updated ISG in January and ISG has reviewed CP and redlining • Ask to approve for implementation in June 2012 Release • Self evident (without changes systems/documentation inconsistent • with approval of Fuel Type Category for new Interconnector) so we will recommend no industry Impact Assessment No issues raised by the ISG • Request Panel endorse approach for progression of CP • 20
Recommendations The BSC Panel is invited to: a) APPROVE the East-West Interconnector as a Fuel Type Category under paragraph 6.1.18(l) of Section Q of the BSC; b) NOTE that we will raise a CP to implement the associated document and system changes in the June 2012 BSC Systems Release; and c) ENDORSE our proposed approach to the progression of this CP 21
