We published our decision to modify SLC 47 of the Standard Conditions of Electricity Supply Licence on 07 September 2022. These modifications are required in order to introduce the necessary data access requirements for the functioning of the new market-wide half-hourly settlement (MHHS) arrangements. That decision was in response to our statutory consultation of 06 May 2022.
At the time that we published our decision, the Government had also recently published a decision on 01 June 2022 to modify a separate part of SLC 47 following their consultation on “Maximising non-domestic smart meter consumer benefits, improving the data offer and enabling innovation”. These Government changes were not fully reflected in our updated text published as part of the September 07 decision.
We are publishing this letter for information to make clear that the changes that will enter into force as a result of our 07 September decision will reflect the changes made by the Government on 01 June. Both sets of modifications will therefore be reflected correctly in the updated licence conditions, including paragraph numbering and existing cross-references.
