Developments now taking place

The following developments are expected to be delivered in early 2022.

Market entry

Customers will be able to register their bank details and credit contacts during the Market Entry process and we are enhancing the functionality for managing Authorised Signatories, contacts and addresses to improve the self-service options.

P375

This modification will build on existing P344 functionality and introduce the submission of AMSID Pairs through the Customer Solution.

• P375: Settlement of Secondary BM Units using metering behind the site Boundary Point

Developments next in our roadmap

The following developments are expected to be delivered in 2023.

P419 and P395
