On 31 March 2021 Ofgem published the complete drafting for v3.0 of the Retail Energy Code (REC), which is scheduled to go live at the same time as the new switching arrangements and Central Switching Service (CSS), expected to be in mid-2022.

In that consultation we explained that publication of the consequential changes to other codes would be deferred to allow further time to develop the changes and ensure they reflect other industry changes that are happening alongside the Switching Programme. These documents are now available and published here. Any parties who feel that they need to see the consequential change drafting in order to be able to properly respond to the REC v3.0 consultation will now be able to do so.

The main document is an explanatory note accompanying the subsidiary documents, which are the draft consequential changes to the BSC, UNC, IGT UNC, DCUSA and SEC as a result of the Switching Programme Significant Code Review (SCR). We welcome comments on the accuracy, clarity and adequacy of the drafting of the consequential changes to these codes by 30 July 2021, which is the same as the closure date for the REC v3.0 consultation.
