Background – Market Sector Code (MSC)
• Field within Sites and Meters
• Can hold the following values:
– “D” for domestic
– “I” for Industrial & Commercial
• Population is Mandatory on Confirmations (since 2001)
• Can be updated using bespoke file (T73)
Background – Market Sector Code (MSC)
• Blank population (as of 27th July 2009)
– Approximately 7,000,000 (~33% of all Supply Points)
– Blank population is reducing slowly (<0.5% per month)
• Extensive analysis presented
– Market Differentiation on 4th August 2009
Background – Market Sector Code (MSC)
• References to “domestic” and “non-domestic”
– The Gas Act
– Gas Transporter Licence (various conditions)
– Gas Supplier Licence (various conditions)
– Gas Shipper Licence (various conditions)
– The Gas (Standards of Performance) Regulations 2005 & A2008
– Uniform Network Code (TPD G & TPD J)
Background – Market Sector Code (MSC)
• References to “domestic” and “non-domestic”
– The Gas and Electricity (Consumer Complaints Handling Standards) Regulations 2008
– The Consumers, Estates Agents and Redress Act 2007
• Complaint Handling Standards 2008
– The Electricity & Gas Carbon Emissions Reduction Order 2008
– The Supply Point Administration Agreement (SPAA)
• Detailed summary presented at Workstream (10th Sept 09)
Issues
• “Gap” in Supplier/Shipper Licence provisions
– Condition 17 (Mandatory exchange of information)
• 17.9 Requirement to inform Shipper if premise is domestic or non-domestic within 3 days of becoming relevant Supplier
• 17.10 Requirement to inform Shipper if premise changes from domestic to non-domestic and vice versa
• 17.11 For the above, if the Supplier is the Shipper then the Supplier must inform the relevant Transporter
Issues
• “Gap” in Supplier/Shipper Licence provisions
– No corresponding Shipper obligation to inform Transporter when they are not also the Supplier
– Obligation is not retrospective
• Does not impact on blank MSC data
Issues
• No UNC requirement for accuracy or maintenance
– MSC only has to be populated at confirmation stage
• Compliance (Regs, UNC etc)
• Inability to report on ‘market sectors’
• Restricts industry development?
– Modification Proposal 0253 / Data Protection Act
– Ability for greater Market Differentiation
Proposal
• UNC obligation on Shippers
– Population of Market Sector Code flag
– Accuracy of submitted Market Sector Code flag
– Maintenance of Market Sector Code flag
Proposal
• Implementation
– Blank MSC flags to be populated
– Incorrect MSC flags to be corrected
– Transition period needed?
• Potential for 7,000,000 T73 files or Confirmations
• Potential “data-fix” approach
• Shipper input required
– Non User Pays (subject to Implementation technique)
Proposal Update
• Transition Period of [6] months
• T73 files to be used in transition period
– Limit to be placed on file size (tbc)
• Shippers obligated to:
– Update incorrect MSC entries; and
– Populate any “D” LSPs and/or any “I” SSPs
Proposal Update
• Blank MSC Shipper portfolio report
– Prior to transition period (at implementation)
– [3] months / halfway in to transition period
– 1 month from end of transition period
• “Suspect” MSC entry report (if required)
– Existing potential anomalies flagged to Shipper
– Provided prior to transition period
Proposal Update
• After Transition Period
– All populated entries correct (Shipper obligation)
– Blanks can only be “D” SSPs or “I” LSPs (Shipper obligation)
• Remaining blanks to be populated by xoserve
– SSPs will be “D” and LSPs will be “I”
• User Pays Service and User Pays Charges apply
• Development/Implementation/Service costs
– Payable based on Shipper’s blank MSC population
Proposal Update
• Charging Example 1
– Indicative costs of [£150k] (tbc within Modification Proposal)
– 7,000,000 blank MSCs
– £0.02 per blank MSC update
• Charging Example 2
– 150,000 blank MSCs
– £1.00 per blank MSC update
Next Steps
• Draft Modification Proposal to be published
– Shipper feedback on Proposal (incl. Implementation)
– March Modification Panel
• Consultation
