iGT Single Service ProvisionRequirements Update – 27th March 2013

Background

• Original set of requirements for iGT agency services developed and baselined under Project Nexus UNC Workgroup back in August 2012

• Further development of the requirements has continued with the iGTs and GTs over the past 6 months

• An updated set of conceptual process models and requirements has been created and baslined with the iGTs

• The requirements focus on the differences for CSEP Supply Meter Points and should be considered along with the other Project Nexus requirements documents

Requirement Topic Areas

• The iGT Agency Services Business Requirements Document (BRD) contains the following topic areas:– General iGT requirements– CSEP Setup & Lifecycle– CSEP Supply Meter Point setup & initial Shipper registration– Network referrals & transportation offers– Meter Reads & Must Reads– Queries– iGT Invoicing– Termination & Insolvency– Portfolio Reporting

Deviations From GT Processes

• CSEP Creation

• CSEP Supply Meter Point Creation

• Issuing of a provisional Shipper confirmation on SMP creation

• Nominations for an I&C SSP CSEP Supply Meter Points

• Issuing of a Confirmation where Shipper has not Confirmed a new CSEP Supply Meter Point following the asset installation

• Referrals for CSEP Supply Meter Point updates

• iGT invoicing arrangements

Required iGT Referrals

• CSEP Supply Meter Point capacity changes are required for a greater range of SMPs

• AQ corrections will require referral to the relevant iGT to ensure the correct rates are applied and notified to the Shipper

• Address amendments will be validated by the relevant iGT prior to any updates being made on central systems

• Market Sector Code changes will be verified by the relevant iGT to ensure the correct rates are applied and notified to the Shipper

Areas for Further Consideration

• Managing the market setup for an organisation– Rules for the capture of a shipper acceding to the iGT UNC– Rules around setting up a new iGT organisation

• Maintaining an organisation’s market participation– Rules around iGT mergers, de-mergers & acquisitions

• Managing the market exit of an organisation– Impacts of a Shipper withdrawing from the GT UNC– Rules around Shipper terminations, especially where triggered by

DNOs or EBCC– Rules around the withdrawal of an iGT

Areas for Further Consideration

• Managing the ownership of a CSEP– Rules around the transfer of a CSEP between IGTs

• Especially impacts on the MPRN and the CSEP SMP history

– Rules around the adoption of a CSEP by a DNO– Impacts of a GT nesting of CSEP

Outstanding Issues

• Requirements for CSEP Daily Metered Mandatory (DMM) sites have not been fully captured

• CSEP Overrun charges / ratchets for CSEP DMM sites need further consideration

• Reporting requirements and data access entitlements need to be defined

Next Steps

• Agree and baseline the requirement changes contained with version 1.1 of the Project Nexus iGT Agency Services BRD

• Resolve outstanding issues during future UNC Mod 0440 / iGT UNC Mod 039 workgroups

• Further detailed evolvement of the requirements
