Plan
• All agreed that Action 135 should remain open as this Action is currently with the UR who are yet to revert to
the CER with their position on the proposal produced by ESBN and NIE Networks.
• IT was proposed that ROI goes ahead with the working assumption to follow the plan which would include a
schema release in 2018. CER would be required to formally support this approach. It would have to be
acknolwedged that the UR decision may impact the current working assumption. This may or may not lead to a
change in the plan for a 2018 release. 135

Cut-Over
• All billing issues were cleared in advance of Cut Over;
• Cut over went as planned and per dress rehearsals;
• Suppliers with enterprise IT billing systems - their changes went very well;
• Suppliers who did not have enterprise IT billing systems - only had validation
checks to carryout;
• On Friday night some suppliers did not turn off flow of messages but this was resolved
quickly;
• On Saturday some Suppliers were logged onto their old TIBCO EMMA and reported
failed validation. Quickly corrected and logged onto new EMMA and validation
completed;
• Some suppliers had issues with password management on their EMMA but again
resolved.

31st August 2016 Retail Markets Co-Ordination Design Service ReMCoDS
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.
DR1180 – New Registrations(1/2)
31st August 2016 Retail Markets Co-Ordination Design Service ReMCoDS
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.

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.

DR1182 – Impact of I-Sem on the Retail Market
31st August 2016 Retail Markets Co-Ordination Design Service ReMCoDS
DR1183 – 010 Cust Validation Agreement(1/2)
Within the retail market, customer agreements must be in place before a 010MM can
be submitted. In addition, a ten working day cooling off period must have been
completed prior to the submission of the 010MM.
Currently there is no definitive facility within the market to validate the existence of a
customer agreement and the ten working day cooling off period. The supply agreement
flag contained within the MIG for meter registration assumes the existence of the
customer agreement. At the request of UR, changes to the 010MM are required to
capture the associated customer agreement details.
It is proposed to add an additional field to the 010MM which must be populated with
the date of the customer agreement
31st August 2016 Retail Markets Co-Ordination Design Service ReMCoDS
DR1183 – 010 Cust Validation Agreement(2/2)
Validation will be required to:
Determine that the ten working day cooling off period has been maintained between
the date of the customer agreement and the submission of the 010MM
Confirm that the date of the customer agreement is not more than 6 weeks prior to the
date of the submission of the 010MM.
Confirm that the customer agreement is not submitted more than twice. An unique
identifier will be required for each customer agreement.
A 102 R rejection message will be issued with a new data code which will indicate that
the timescales have failed validation.
