Comments on query raised at last IGG on sharp

increase in objections for June 2016

• Sharp increase in objections for erroneous transfer recorded in

June (May 90 – June 160 – July 85)

• Increase mainly due to two losing suppliers

• Objections were raised against spread of gaining suppliers

• Analysis of cancellations from objections showed cancellations

were spread across gaining suppliers

• On average 70% of objections for ET are cancelled, the

cancellation figure for June is 73%

• The gaining suppliers would presumably have completed their own

investigations and were satisfied to cancel

• No increase in objection emails or escalations received in MRSO

• From MRSO perspective, Market Process for erroneous transfer

appears to be followed in respect of the data for June

ESB Networks I-SEM Programme - General Update

We are continuing to work with the RA’s , the I-SEM Project and the other Meter Data Providers through the

I-SEM Metering Working Group.

At this time there is no change to our understanding viz

• No Changes are indicated to the Harmonised Retail Market Schema or the COBL

• D+1,D+4,M+4,M+13 Working day Settlements will operate for ESBN for the I-SEM i.e. No Change to frequency

• Need to concurrently operate the SEM and the I-SEM until the Re-Settlement of the SEM has completed

• No Meter Data will be price effecting in the I-SEM and so I-SEM will not use the Price-Effecting category

• I-SEM Market Trials will run from June-Sept 2017

• The Go-Live date for the I-SEM is 1st Oct 2017

Discussion Request DR1182 was presented and discussed at the last IGG , and for information , no

further comments or queries have been raised with us.

ESB Networks I-SEM Programme – Price Effecting Units : Update

Price Effecting Units

SEM-O have identified 7 Supplier Units that are currently Non-Price Effecting , and they have started work with

MRSO to move them to become Price Effecting in the SEM. This means that Eirgrid will become the MDP for

them in the SEM. This is expected to be completed shortly.

Eirgrid and SEM-O have confirmed the Units that will move from Eirgrid being their MDP in the SEM to

MRSO becoming their MDP in the I-SEM. These are the current stats, at time of writing:

• 32 Distribution Connected GUs will become NPEG

• 12 SUs will become NPED

The current List of Distribution Connected Price Effecting Generator MPRNs is available on the RMDS website

Distribution Loss Factors | RMDS Please note : this list is subject to change over time

We are continuing to work closely with Eirgrid and SEM-O on the cutover implications and the timeline for their

moving in the I-SEM.

• This will include a detailed consideration of the timelines for the I-SEM Transitional Registration Lock-Down

period once it has been confirmed , and the Go-Live date for the I-SEM

ESB Networks I-SEM Programme – Market Trials : Update (1 of 2)

Unscripted Phase of the Market Trials & the RoI Retail Market

For the I-SEM Market Trials Unscripted phase, our intention for RoI Suppliers and Eirgrid TSO is to make

available

• For Suppliers; the 341,59x series of messages and 342 message for the Supplier’s own generators.

• For Eirgrid TSO; the 341,59x series of messages and 342 messages including those GUs and SUs that are

moved during market Trials so that MRSO becomes their MDP for Market Trials

Naturally this means that if you want to get these messages from the Market Trials then you will need to have a test

EMMA that is available for the duration of the Unscripted Market Trials phase

We expect that the Registration Data that we will set up in the Retail Market environment for the Unscripted

phase of Market Trials will mirror the I-SEM Transitional Registration details for SUs and Participant GUs

• This will include a practice cut-over of at least 1 of the Units that is moving from Eirgrid as MDP over to MRSO as

MDP

Note : we need to do more work to better understand what QH read data will be available during Market Trials for these

Units given that the actual SEM MDP at that time will still be Eirgrid . We’ll let you know the outcome in due course.

2nd November, 2016 31

The core driver from CER for this DR is that for sites which do not elect a supplier

within 5 days of energisation, should not automatically be assigned to Electric Ireland..

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.

This DR was brought to last Forum and Market Participants generally support the

principle of a mandatory selection of a Supplier before energisation. However a

number of questions have arisen with regards to how New Registrations are cancelled.

This DR is now therefore on Hold until the Cooling off DR has been finalised, as the

design of this will affect how New Registration cancellations are handled.

At Today’s Meeting: For Information as the DR completion is dependant on outcome

of DR 1184 (Cooling Off period)

DR1180 – New Registrations(Place Holder)

Page 32: IGG Agenda - RMDS...Minutes (v1.0) from IGG meeting 31st August 2016 For Approval Today 2nd November, 2016 3 IGG Action Items Updated IGG Action List issued in advance of meeting 4

2nd November, 2016 32

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 MCR1182 and include changes to the Data

Processing and the Data Aggregation Retail Market business process between ESB

Networks and Market Participants.

At Today’s Meeting: For Approval as MCR

MCR1182 –Impact of I-SEM on the Retail Market

Page 33: IGG Agenda - RMDS...Minutes (v1.0) from IGG meeting 31st August 2016 For Approval Today 2nd November, 2016 3 IGG Action Items Updated IGG Action List issued in advance of meeting 4

2nd November, 2016 33

The customers’ right to the cooling off period is detailed in Directive 2011/83/EU

on consumer rights, which was transposed into Irish legislations through the

Statutory Instrument S.I. No. 484 of 2013

Under this directive , customers have a right to a cooling off period of 14 days.

This includes situations when switching their gas and / or electricity accounts.

The cooling off period allows the customer to cancel the switch within a certain

time without incurring penalty.

The CER have completed a review on whether or not the a cancellation process

should be incorporated into the market design to allow for change of mind.

Options were presented to industry for comment, this resulted in selection of an

option which the majority of Suppliers supported.

DR1184 – Cooling off for COS(1/2)

Page 34: IGG Agenda - RMDS...Minutes (v1.0) from IGG meeting 31st August 2016 For Approval Today 2nd November, 2016 3 IGG Action Items Updated IGG Action List issued in advance of meeting 4

2nd November, 2016 34

DR1184 – Cooling off for COS(2/2)

The Competition & Consumer Protection Commission’s website states that

the cooling off period is 14 calendar days.

The scenarios outlined in the DR were created based on 14 calendar days.

Once the customer contacts the Supplier, they have up to 4 days to send the

010 and the customer has 14 cooling off calendar days to exercise their

cooling off rights.(18 days total).

At Today’s Meeting: For Discussion

DR1185 – Small Supplier Categorisation(1/2)

Currently the structure of the Small Supplier category does not facilitate

the business model of a Supplier having a small number of sites but

energy usage greater than 10MW power at peak demand.

The proposal is to change the current categorisation and assurance

approach within the Small Supplier category

the threshold of < 200 sites registered will continue to be part of the
