CER have reviewed the New Registration’ process for customers who do not actively
choose a supplier as part of the new connection process. In the interest of a level
playing field and to further support the development of competition, CER are
considering a change to the current default process to a single supplier.
The core driver from CER is that the default Supplier, for sites which do not elect a
supplier within 5 days of energisation, should not automatically be Electric Ireland. This
is seen to be an unfair advantage from market perspective. The intention of the change
request is to look at the process and develop an equitable process around New
Connections which does not give unfair advantage to any one supplier.
RMDS recommends that New Registrations would follow a similar process to that
which exists for >=30kVA new connections. The customer must sign up with a supplier
of choice before energisation The choice of the Supplier is therefore correctly in the
hands of the customer.
31st August, 2016 24
DR1180 – New Registrations(2/2)
When the quotation letter for a new connection is sent out to the customer by ESBN this
should contain a paragraph which will detail the requirement for mandatory selection of a
Supplier by the customer in advance of energisation.
The difference to the current process is that for sites < 30 kVA the customer will in future
have to contact a Supplier of choice who will submit a registration to ESBN with the
customer name, and receipt of the registration by MRSO becomes a requirement before
the site is energised.
At Today’s Meeting: For Approval as DR
31st August, 2016 25
CER’s Retail Market team asked ESB Networks in January 2015 to assess the impact of
the ISEM on the Retail Market in Ireland..
Whilst the SEM is to undergo a radical transformation arising from changes to European
legislation designed to create a single wholesale electricity market across Europe, the
intention of the RA’s I-SEM team is that there would be minimum impact for the Retail
Market and for Meter Data Providers arising from the I-SEM.
ESB Networks is one of the four Meter Data Providers represented at the I-SEM Metering
Working Group and have been considering the impacts of the I-SEM.
The proposed changes are fully detailed in DR1182 and include changes to the Data
Processing and the Data Aggregation Retail Market business process between ESB
Networks and Market Participants.
