Summary
The Retail Energy Code (REC) and Central Switching Service (CSS) are key components of Ofgem’s Faster Switching Programme and are expected to go live on 1 April 2021. ELEXON is required to inform Ofgem how processes relating to Change of Supplier (CoS) and Change of Agent (CoA) may be impacted. These processes will likely impact:
- Data Collectors (DCs)
- Data Aggregators (DAs)
- Meter Operator Agents (MOAs)
- Suppliers
While ELEXON has an understanding of the required changes, we would appreciate input from industry subject matter experts to ensure all aspects are considered ahead of making our recommendations to Ofgem.
Progression
Issue 86 was raised on 9 October 2019. The first Issue Group meeting was held on 29 October (papers below). The second meeting will be held early/mid-December once Issue Group member availability has been confirmed.
The second meeting will:
- Review updates since the first meeting
