Review of MPDs & Procedures

General

18

Purpose:

  • Housekeeping - many Market Process Definitions (and related procedures) in place since market opening in 2008 (some updated in

2011 & 2015).

  • Review MPDs & procedures and ensure alignment between documented process and actual process as applied currently.

Proposed Timeline:

  • GNI propose to have reviewed the GPRO & Meter Data Services MPD’s in advance of GMARG February 2019.
  • Remainder of processes and procedures (primarily siteworks or meter reading related) will be reviewed thereafter

Review will:

  • Identify any deviations between documented and actual process
  • Deliver ‘red-line’ mark-up of documentation to GMARG/CRU for review and approval - expect majority of updates to be cosmetic

NOT intended as root and branch review of each process - If there are proposals to change the actual process, the standard DDR/CR process should to be initiated

value available to customers from €5 to €10 as of 1st December.

December.

  • Upon review by Siemens it was found that the Emergency credit limit had not been

updated correctly. In addition the Emergency Credit Threshold value had been updated to €10 (the only impact of this being the customer would have been offered the Emergency credit earlier)

  • Siemens developed a fix to the issue and all vends as of 22nd December picked up

the correct settings ensuring the increased Emergency credit limit of €10 was available to customers
