Part 10 Implementation: Proposed changes to the registry ICP switching process » Electricity Authority
Consultation period: 14 May 2012
to 31 May 2012 5:00pm
NOTE: On 16 May 2012 the Authority amended Appendix B of the consultation paper.
The Authority has approved a new Part 10 and associated amendments to Parts 1, 11 and 15 to develop a new set of metering arrangements that will be effective from 6 June 2013.
The new Part 10 requires significant changes to the registry. The registry is a real time national database of record for points of connection to networks that are installation control points (ICPs). It facilitates the switching of ICPs between traders (also known as customer switching) and interfaces directly with the reconciliation manager, and with traders' and distributors' systems.
The Authority previously proposed a three week moratorium for ICP switching in the registry to allow for implementation of the Part 10 registry enhancements prior to go live on 6 June 2013. ICP switching would continue outside the registry during this time and switch information updated in the registry following implementation.
Participants have asked the Authority to reconsider the proposed three week registry switching moratorium given current volumes of customer switching. The Authority has developed an alternative solution that will considerably shorten the switching moratorium. Purpose of this paper
The Authority is seeking feedback on proposed changes to the ICP switching process in the registry that will:
significantly reduce the duration of the registry switching moratorium; and
future proof switching message formats.
No Code amendment is required for the proposed solution but it does affect how participants operate their systems.
Submissions in electronic form should be emailed to [javascript protected email address] with “Consultation Paper - Proposed changes to the registry ICP switching process” in the subject line.
Submissions should be received by 5.00pm on Thursday 31 May 2012. Please note that late submissions are unlikely to be considered.
