2010 – 393,000 market messages with customer readings forwarded by Suppliers. 2014 - 950,000 market messages with customer readings forwarded by Suppliers. January 2015 – the first time the monthly number of 210MMs has exceeded 90,000.

I IMPLAUSIBLE READINGS

Volume of 210MMs received on 20TH FEB was 2,400 of which 600 were implausible – 25%. The running of this daily report once took 2-3 hours – due to hugely increased volumes it is now taking over 10 hours. The large number of implausible readings is causing delays in releasing valid readings. This will eventually lead to delays for Suppliers

Supplier Responsibilities

  • There is no evidence to suggest Suppliers are doing any validation of the

readings they receive

  • Can suppliers confirm if they are doing any validation themselves?
  • Suppliers need to ensure obvious implausible readings are not passed on to

ESB Networks

  • If required the meter reading team can provide some information on what a

supplier should be looking for in order to prevent an implausible read e.g. customer reading less than the previous actual reading

Notification Addresses

Notification Addresses

We updated the IGG in September 2014 on Notification Address Issues : On 25th July a customer contacted Joe Duffy Show regarding a planned outage card he received from Networks. The address was in Cork and had United Kingdom as part of the address. On investigating this MPRN no. we discovered that the Site Address was correct but that the Notification Address had United Kingdom in the Country Field. Networks looked at the Notification Addresses we have on all MPRNs and found that there were approx. 900 MPRNs that had an Irish address with United Kingdom appended in the country field on the Notification Address. The Notification Address ‘belongs’ to the Supplier and no verification is done on the information that we receive from Supplier. Networks also had this issue in 2011, and also last year where a customer posted a photo on Twitter of a letter with UK/GB on a Dublin address. The issue on that MPRN no. was also with the Notification Address.

SLIDE 41

Notification Addresses – Action Item 941

IGG Action Item 941 - ESBN is investigating why there are some MPRNs on the Central Market System that have UK addresses in the correspondence addresses Findings: there are two main reasons 1. Suppliers sending in UK in the Notification Address on 010MM and 013MM 2. We have found that the COS process can in some cases result in the MPRN incorrectly holding onto a notification address which wasn’t sent in from that Supplier And

  • Suppliers were issued with lists of MPRNs that have UK added onto a notification address that

is clearly within Ireland , and from that have identified cases where they do not have an invalid address in their system and so they cannot correct it by sending in the 013MM.

  • ESBN will adjust these, no 114MM will issue.
  • Suppliers have been asked to send in a 013MM where they do have an invalid address in their

system and are able to make the correction themselves

  • The problem should diminish where Suppliers stop sending UK . We will need to look at the

COS issue , we propose its not urgent just now and would be looked at later.

slide-42
SLIDE 42

42 esbnetworks.ie

Also from September 2014

We are asking Suppliers to be vigilant when inputting all addresses but especially Notification Addresses. We would also like to remind all Suppliers of the agreed rules around addresses.

Vulnerable Customers

Reconciliation Exercise 4th March 2015

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Vulnerable Customers Reconciliation Exercise - Update

  • Last year CER requested ESBN to do a reconciliation with all Suppliers of the customers with

Vulnerable Customer attributes, i.e. Life Support and all other attributes.

  • Suppliers issued lists of MPRNs that they had registered as VC / Life Support.
  • These lists were compared with records held by Networks.
  • Discrepancies were found, i.e. MPRNs that were registered as VC on Networks side were not

registered on Supplier side and vice versa.

  • In December 2014 a defect was rectified on ESBN side . That defect had in some cases caused

a VC flag to be created when the Supplier did not request same.

  • After the defect was rectified a corrective programme was put in place :
  • Suppliers have been asked to send in up to date lists for checking against Networks records
  • Where ESBN has a vulnerable customer attribute , and after we have checked that the

Supplier does not, ESBN will take off that VC attribute from that MPRN (no 114MM will issue for these)

  • The aim is to have all such cases rectified ASAP although this is dependent on Suppliers

feedback , at time of writing we are waiting for information from 2 Suppliers

  • And where Supplier has a customer attribute and ESBN does not, these will be referred back

to the Supplier who can send in a 013MM to adjust.

  • When Suppliers and ESBN have finished we propose to carry out a final reconciliation check

Eircodes

ESBN Update to the IGG

4th March 2015

slide-46
SLIDE 46

46 esbnetworks.ie

Eircodes – Background to DR1140

  • The Eircode Project is aiming to have ‘Eircodes’ available in June 2015
  • ESB Group have been asked to facilitate the Postcode Project

– ESB Networks are the first step within the ESB Group in facilitating this process

  • A Data Sharing Agreement is in place between the Eircode Project and ESB Group to allow

data from the Central Market System be made available for Eircodes

  • Once Eircodes have been allocated to sites these will be made available back to ESBN

where data matching has been possible

  • ESBN have drafted DR1140 outlining what work would need to be done on the Central

Market System to allow for the addition of the new Eircode values

  • DR1140 is written to show the minimum level of change needed for the introduction of

Eircodes and also additional work that could be considered (all this is for discussion)

  • Suppliers & TSO will as normal need to assess the impact of the DR for yourselves

– Will an Eircode cause problems if it comes across without Supplier system changes? – How much work will be required to enable Eircodes?

  • Once an MCR is agreed then timelines for release – in 2015? – need to be agreed
slide-47
SLIDE 47

Eircodes – Query from a Supplier

We got this query from a Supplier Q If we were to implement Eircodes internally and prior to the Market Change then will the 010MM be rejected if the Meter Point Address Postal Code field is populated with the Eircode A This 010MM would be outsorted for manual review by MRSO. – And, as normal, the Central Market System would not store the Eircode from the 010MM in the Meter Point Address Postal Code field after the COS completes Further Info

  • And vice-versa, if ESBN were to upload Eircodes into the Central Market System and a Supplier sends in the

010MM without an identical matching Meter Point Address Postal Code (or none at all) then this 010MM would be outsorted for manual review by MRSO. – And as normal the Central Market System would retain the Eircode in the Meter Point Address Postal Code field , and send it out on the MM105 to that Supplier after the COS completes

  • Similar outsorting problems would arise for MRSO with the Meter Point Address Postal Code field for the

012W message

  • Similar outsorting problems would arise for the ESBN Address Bureau with the Meter Point Address Postal

Code field for the 013MM message

  • And for the 012MM , instead of outsorting, these messages would be rejected via the MM112R if there is a

mis-match (…consider implications for Debt Flagging MCR1111)

slide-48
SLIDE 48

48 esbnetworks.ie

Eircodes – Timeline Considerations

  • ESBN feels that there needs to be a critical mass of Suppliers ready to implement Eircodes

at the same time as ESBN

  • Otherwise we anticipate that there will be mis-matches between the Central Market System

and Suppliers’ systems , which will lead to Message Rejections and Outsorts for MRSO and the ESBN Address Bureau that will have to be manually cleared, and will lead to delays.

  • 1.5 million Eircodes are proposed to be uploaded into the Central Market System and will

each trigger the sending of a 114MM to the Registered Supplier – Therefore the implementation will be spaced out ESBN is asking Suppliers & TSO to feedback your comments - is 18th March OK?

MCR 1156 V2.0 – Cancellation Reason Code OS on 111A MM

What is proposed in MCR 1156

Market Design information is revised to instruct on the non use of Cancellation Reason Code OS on the 011 MM once the 10 day objection period has elapsed. This will prevent it being auto populated on the 111A.

It is suggested that one of the other appropriate and allowable cancellation codes are used (such as SE) under these circumstances.

Manage validation errors caused by Suppliers receiving 111A MM (where their systems cannot accept them) on a case by case basis in MRSO.

Optional

  • A technical solution was investigated. The details of which are in the DR. It is suggested that

based on the number of cases identified, that the technical solution is optional for Suppliers.

At Today’s Meeting:

  • Recommendation for Approval as a MCR requested at IGG

DR 1140 V1.0 – Introduction of Eircodes into the Retail Market in Ireland

What is proposed in DR 1140

  • The Eircode Project is aiming to have ‘Eircodes’ available in June 2015
  • ESB Group have been asked to facilitate the Postcode Project
  • ESB Networks are the first step within the ESB Group in facilitating this process
  • A Data Sharing Agreement is in place between the Eircode Project and ESB Group to allow data from

the Central Market System be made available for Eircodes

  • Once Eircodes have been allocated to sites these will be made available back to ESBN where data

matching has been possible

  • ESBN have drafted DR1140 outlining what work would need to be done on the Central Market

System to allow for the addition of the new Eircode values

  • DR1140 is written to show the minimum level of change needed for the introduction of Eircodes and

also additional work that could be considered (all this is for discussion)

  • Suppliers & TSO will as normal need to assess the impact of the DR for yourselves
  • Will an Eircode cause problems if it comes across without Supplier system changes?
  • How much work will be required to enable Eircodes?
  • Once an MCR is agreed then timelines for release – in 2015? – need to be agreed

At Today’s Meeting:

  • Recommendation for Approval as a DR requested at IGG

Action Reporting

2013 Survey Action Action Taken 2014 Survey Feedback

In 2013 For Co-ordination and communication of Market Assurance Activities RMDS received scoring of Very poor In relation to PIR surveys and the highest score we got elsewhere was Good with no Very Good score. This is an area of concern especially as we did not get any elaboration of the reasons for this in the comments section. RMDS welcomed feedback from MPs. None was provided. No specific action as taken in the absence of feedback other than being cognisant of the co-ordination and communication aspect for these activities in 2014. RMDS only scored Very Good or Good in the 2014 Survey. Look at the timings of the Forum Meetings to allow the visiting delegation depart earlier with the home delegation remaining and having their jurisdictional meeting as the last of the three Forum Meetings. The timings of the Forum Meetings were changed to have the visiting groups meeting first to provide an afternoon departure 92% of MPS approved of the change DR/MCR Process Timings and Pace Detailed Presentation of the Process to the IGG 75% of respondents are now satisfied with the timings and pace of the DR/MCR Process Identify all DRs and MCRs that are on Hold Website amended to provide this in Q3 2014 Scoring for this page in 2013 was 100%

  • Good. In 2014 it was 17% Very Good, 67%

Very good but 8% rated the page that reflected this change poor.

Market Design

Respondents rated RMDS either Very Good or Good in terms of their expertise & Support at some recent Market Initiatives e.g. LTCA, CoS Workshops, Debt Flagging and SMART Metering.

One third of respondents advised that they did not have a clear understanding of what comprises the “Market Design”. RMDS Website

The RMDS website scored highly for ease of navigation, content and speed of updating. There was concern in relation to the search functionality of the website.

The Search function will return results from the titles and the bodies of posts and pages, and from media titles, all text, file names, and captions. It will not find a word or phrase within a document on our website which is the same way as Google performs for example. 

Two thirds of respondents were not in favour of a separate ReMCoDS website. Two Small, 1 Large and 1 Self Supplier (a third of respondents) were in favour.

Action 922

ACTION 922 - RMDS to provide a list of outstanding approved MCRs, including date raised & any previous inclusion in a prioritisation exercise

Full spreadsheet is available on calendar and has been distributed to IGG list. It is correct as of 27.02.2015

16 Approved / Approved but on Hold MCRs

8 are Schema Impacting and 8 are non Schema Impacting

5 of the 8 Non Schema are being included in Releases during 2015

2 of the Schema Impacting are being included with the next Schema release (TIBCO rewrite)

That leaves 9 non delivered MCRs. Of these 9 MCRs

  • 8 were raised prior to harmonisation (6 of these prior to 2010)
  • All have undergone prioritisation – some up to 3 times.

Are the 9 non delivered MCRs still valid? MP & RMDS initiative to establish this.

RMDS continues to work on a MCR register and database
