Smart Meter Communication Licence

In November 2023 we consulted on our proposals for the Data Communications Company (DCC) Price Control submission for the Regulatory Year 2022/23 (RY22/23), along with our assessment of DCC’s performance and its Baseline Margin and External Contract Gain Share applications. We also ran a second consultation at the end of January 2024 to further inform our Price Control assessment and decision-making.

This document sets out the decisions, and reasons for them, on DCC’s costs and performance, as well as DCC’s applications to adjust its Baseline Margin and External Contract Gain Share values under the Licence. This decision recognises responses we received to the consultations and any further information made available to us during the consultation windows.

Alongside this document we publish notices of our Price Control Decisions and Determinations and Directions relating to the calculation of Allowed Revenue set out in the Price Control Conditions in the Smart Meter Communications Licence.
