Review of Market Process Definitions & ProceduresGeneral

13

Purpose:

• Housekeeping - many MPDs (and related procedures) in place since market opening in 2008 (some updated in 2011 & 2015).

• Review MPDs & procedures and ensure alignment between documented process and actual process as applied currently.

Proposed Timeline:

• GNI propose to have reviewed the GPRO & Meter Data Services MPD’s in advance of GMARG February 2019.

• Remainder of processes and procedures (primarily siteworks or meter reading related) will be reviewed thereafter

Review will:

• Identify any deviations between documented and actual process

• Deliver ‘red-line’ mark-up of documentation to GMARG/CRU for review and approval - expect majority of updates to be cosmetic

NOT intended as root and branch review of each process

- If there are proposals to change the actual process, the standard DDR/CR process should to be initiated
