ESB Networks I-SEM Programme - General Update

From the Last IGG on 02.11.2016:

Update 11.01.2017

• A revision to the Go-Live date for the I-SEM to the 23rd May 2018

• I-SEM Market Trials will run from Dec 2017- May 2018

• A revised MCR1182 to incorporate the changes will issue once they have been fully approved in the wholesale market

24 esbnetworks.ie

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

From the Last IGG on 02.11.2016:

FR

Update 11.01.2017 – 5 Supplier Units have now moved to become Price Effecting with a decision

on the remaining 2 to follow shortly by SEM-O

A new Market Trial Working Group will be established by the I-SEM Project in March to look at

the preparation phase of Market Trials and the development of detailed supporting

documentation. We will provide feedback on this through the IGG as it becomes available.

25 esbnetworks.ie

• As discussed at the last IGG we looked for your feedback around the 2 questions listed below

We are considering drafting a new Market Trials WP12 to accommodate Participant GU registration

changes being requested specifically for Market Trials

Q1 Would you see any need for this , and would you use it

We are considering drafting a new Market Trials WP14 purely as part of the Unscripted Market Trials

to accommodate Non Participant Generator Arrangements changes being requested specifically for

Market Trials

Q2 Would you see any need for this , and would you use it

Update 11.01.2017

ESBN received comments from Suppliers showing an interest in both. Therefore ESBN will

raise a new DR to update both WP12 & WP14 and bring them to the May IGG / ReMCoWG.

ESB Networks I-SEM Programme – IGG Action 1024

26 esbnetworks.ie

Action 1024 – Further Information

ESBN Response to a specific Supplier query -

A Supplier may wish to participate in the I-SEM Project’s Market Trial.

If that Supplier wants to have different De Minimis NPGEN arrangements reflected in the data that

MRSO aggregate for Market Trials as against that which is aggregated as business as normal , then

they will need a way to communicate that to the ESB Networks I-SEM programme team (WP14 is the

mechanism for Production)

The Supplier may want to have their Retail Market test EMMA hooked up to get the Retail Market

Messages that will flow from the Market Trials test environment (viz 59x and 34x series of messages)

If the Supplier needs a different WP12 arrangement for Participant Generators for the Market Trials

than that which is catered for as business as normal, then they will need a way to communicate that to

the ESB Networks I-SEM programme team (WP12 is the mechanism for Production)

Based on Supplier feedback so far to IGG Action 1024, we are planning on bringing a DR to the Retail

Market in Q2/2017 to allow for arrangements specifically for Market Trial, for each of WP12 & WP14

Therefore, when you are working through your Registration requirements for I-SEM project’s Market

Trials you can consider the information above, and if you find you need to set up something different

for Market Trials than what is in Live Production, you will be able to let us know and we will reflect

these changes.

27 esbnetworks.ie

Action 1024 – Further Information


Q - Can ESBN provide clarity as to whether they will be able to accommodate a

situation whereby a Generation Unit is registered with one supplier in SEM but

with another supplier in ISEM? Will the systems be able to accommodate the

varying parties during the resettlement period until SEM is completely shut down?

A - It will be possible to accommodate a situation whereby a Non Participant

Generation Unit is registered with one supplier in SEM up until the final

resettlement of the SEM and with another supplier in ISEM.

28 esbnetworks.ie

ESB Networks I-SEM Programme – Other Information


Q - SEM-O have proposed that there would be a freeze on market registration for 3

months before ISEM go-live.

Is it likely this freeze extend to the registration of export arrangements for Non

Participant generators?

A – This will not impact on the Non Participant generators as this is a retail market

function and at the moment ring-fenced from any I-SEM changes.

However if this was to change we would inform the retail market through the usual

supplier forum, the IGG.

DR1184 – Cooling Off for CoS (Status Update)

Suppliers have raised a number of queries in relation to this DR.

The latest version of this DR details scenarios relating to CoS with CoLE.

Also included in this version of the DR are details of an alternative Objection

Reason Code which could be used instead of Objection Reason Code SE.

Objection Reason Code ME was used for Debt Flagging in the past.

However, this is no longer required and is infrequently used. As ME is now

available it may be a better option. Suppliers feedback on this is welcome.

Suppliers are asked to review and submit any queries to RMDS.

This DR shall be available for Approval at the next Forum.


MCR1185 –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

criteria in qualifying and operating as a Small Supplier in the Retail

Market at all times

the threshold of 10MW power supplied at peak demand will not

apply as criteria where a Supplier indicates that their model is one

which is a small number of customers but where there will be greater

than 10MW power at peak demand.


MCR1185 – Small Supplier Categorisation(2/2)

The assurance body will determine the assurance assessment required for

each Small Supplier entering the Retail Market based on the segment(s)

the Supplier is entering and their Business model.

The Scope of Change to Design Documentation relates to amendments to

the Market Assurance and Market Entry Documentation.

At Today’s Meeting: For Approval

Average Assurance Completion & Effective in the Market Time Frame

• The graph shows the average time taken by New Entrants during

2014 -2016 in each category to complete their assurance and

become effective in the market .

• There was an increase in time frame for both assurance and

becoming effective in the market for the Large Supplier category

during 2015/2016 as a result of the TIBCO Upgrade programme

taking place during this time

• The large difference in time from the assurance completion to the

effective date for Self Suppliers, and DSU is a result of the time

duration for the completion of the Wholesale aspect of the market

entry and the Network infrastructure build/connection.
