Agenda

Long Term No Access I-SEM Smart Metering and Retail Program

LONG TERM NO ACCESS INITIATIVE

Peter Warner – Manager Meter Reading Mairead Murphy – LTNA Team Leader

4 esbnetworks.ie

Work Completed

SLA 14A: 98% OF Meters should have 1 reading (DSO or Customer)per year Invites Issued: To 5 suppliers No of suppliers met: 3 Format of sessions and location: Met at Supplier headquarters to discuss agreed agenda items

5 esbnetworks.ie

Work done by ESBN on an Ongoing Basis

• No access cards left by meter readers. 4 per year possibly
• One system generated letter after 12 months and another after 24 months
• At least 6 texts to customers annually if we have a mobile number
• LTNA lists sent to meter readers every two months and to suppliers quarterly
• After hours phoning and visits by readers to take-aways, pubs
• Seasonal initiatives around summer homes and pump-houses
• Liaising with Meter Ops/suppliers re market messages for de-energised/terminated

properties.

• Special read request to local offices
• Direct contact with multi-site customers e.g Vodafone, Irish Rail, Irish Water, Co

Councils, 3 mobile, Garda Siochana

6 esbnetworks.ie

Common Supplier Concerns

• Accuracy (honesty) of customer readings
• “Bill Shock” after long series of estimates
• What are ESB Networks doing where no access achieved

7 esbnetworks.ie

Sample from Supplier Lists

• Total Accounts: 4885
• Emails sent: 3517
• Frequent payers: 2247
• Infrequent payers: 781
• Reads received: 1025
• No Reply: 2051
• Undelivered: 441

8 esbnetworks.ie

Key Lessons Learnt

• ESB Networks is meeting its LTNA Regulated obligations
• No evidence of customers giving lower incorrect readings
• 85% of estimated accounts were within 1000 units or less of the actual

reading obtained

• ESB Networks has email addresses for 72% of customers
• Active payers respond far better than infrequent payers
• Response to emails better than text for receiving readings (29% versus 25%)

ESBN I-SEM Programme – General Update

We are continuing to work with the RAs, the EirGrid I-SEM Project and the other Meter Data Providers through the I-SEM Metering Working Group We are represented at the Market Trials Co-Ordinator Working Group which EirGrid’s I-SEM Project has established. At this time there remains NO Change to our understanding which remains that:

• No Changes are indicated to the Harmonised Retail Market Schema or the COBL
• D+1, D+4, M+4, M+13 Settlements will continue to operate on a Working Day basis for ESBN, with

no change to Frequency

• Need to concurrently operate the SEM and I-SEM until Re-Settlement of the SEM completes
• No Meter Data will be Price Effecting in the I-SEM and so I-SEM will not use the Price-Effecting

category

• I-SEM Market Trials started on the 1st Dec 2017 and will run until 31st August 2018
• The Go-Live date for the I-SEM is the 1st Oct 2018

11 esbnetworks.ie

ESBN I-SEM Programme – Update

• Registration Data Freeze – 28th August to 16th Oct 2018
• No new Supply or Generator units can register in the Retail Market during this period
• ISEM Market Trials will finish on the 31st August for all Market Participants
• As a result the Retail Suppliers currently involved in these trials will not receive any

further market messages after the 3rd Sept

• ESBN and ATOS will commence the process of de-coupling the retail market test

Emmas from our test Hub and returning same to the IPT Hub from the 4th Sept.

• ESBN are engaging with the ISEM Project team around cutover plans and details

throughout the month of Sept to ensure a smooth transition at Go-Live

• Price Effecting Units will return to ESBN from Eirgrid after ISEM Go-Live, preparation
• f a detailed work plan is in progress

ROI Market Release 2019 – Non-Schema MCRs

MCR Description Comments MCR1140 Version 3.0 Introduction of Eircodes into the Retail Market Design in Ireland

• Eircodes can be submitted on MMs in the existing Postal Code field : 010, 012, 012W,013 & 021
• Eircodes where available will be returned in the existing Postal Code fields on MM: 014R, 101, 101P, 101R, 102, 102P,

102R, 105, 105L, 110, 112, 112R, 112W, 114, 301, 301N& 330

• ESBN will agree schedule for mass uploads of Eircodes into the Meter Point Address Postal Code field in the Central

Market System at a future IGG.

• ESBN intend to update these in batch – mechanism and schedule to be discussed at a future IGG
• Once the Postal Code field has been populated it will be visible on the Retail Market Participant Extranet – Appendix

MCR1140 refers Note: Existing Market Defect originally intended to go-live with MCR1187 will now be implemented alongside this MCR. MCR1169 Version 2.0 Addition of Postal Code to two Downloadable Meter Point Details Files

• Modified downloadable files will be available to Suppliers from May 2019 – Appendix MCR1169 refers
• However, population of field will be determined by the Eircode upload schedule for MCR1140
• ESB Networks intend to discuss the upload schedule for these two files at future IGGs

MCR1175 Version 3.0 Provide Market Participant Business Reference (MPBusinessReferen ce) for Reading

• The Market Participant Business Reference (MPBusinessReference) on the 300MM will be populated with that from the

associated original 210MM (i.e. where it populated a periodic meter reading order)

• Read Reason 95/’Not for COS’ is the only case for which the above applies
• If the customer reading which populates the open Meter Reading Order is implausible and is estimated populate

the MPBusinessReference on the corresponding 305MM

• If the customer reading which populates the open Meter Reading Order is withdrawn populate

the MPBusinessReference on the corresponding 300WMM MCR1180 Version 4.0 New Registration Default Supplier

• For sites with MIC <30kVa, the Customer must now register with a Supplier
• The 010MM must be received by the Central Market system before a connection point can be energised
