Industry Shipperless & Unregistered Working Group Wednesday 1 st February 2012

Agenda  Introduction  Review ‘Terms of Reference’ document  Previous minutes/actions  Statistical Information  Overall industry volume  Age analysis/AQ values  Targeted sites  Legitimate pot – The curious case of Dursley Sainsbury’s  Proactive data cleansing  Duplicate identification (Orphaned/PTS/SSP/No activity)  Discussion points  MOD 0410  Fitting meters without advising Supplier  A.O.B.

Terms of Reference – Review existing principles  Purpose and Objectives (A collective cross industry working group) 1)Collectively establish & execute activities to correct the current Unregistered/Shipperless datasets recorded within the central systems; 2)Identify the root causes & fix the process deficiencies; 3)Review the outcome of ‘Project Delta’ field visits & agree next steps, inclusive of Unregistered/Shipperless sites that are not recorded on central systems.  Scope  This working group has been established to address the 3 objectives utilising Licence, UNC and non-UNC instruments as appropriate  Composition  The working group has been designed to be an open Industry forum. It is the intention that representatives from Gas Distribution Networks and Suppliers as a minimum would be in attendance.

Terms of Reference – Considerations  Industry change  Modification discussions & Workgroups  Potential duplication of decision making  Scope of influence  Continue with quarterly forum?  Change reporting frequency?  Consensus across Stakeholders

The curious case of Dursley Sainsbury’s  MPR … created 28 th May 2009  Requested/Current AQ… 301,344,000  Store opened 17 th March 2010  Duplicate checks proved negative  January 2012… Sadly still Unconfirmed SAINSBURY’S Castle St, Dursley, Glouc’s GL11 4BS

Targeted sites  To aid progression focus on specific ‘Legitimate’ categories  Highest AQ ~ Wider industry implications  Potential to re-categorise/remove?  Opportunity to stem rising volumes  Propose to issue ‘Legitimate’ pot for targeted analysis  How would industry like Xoserve to manage further examples  End-user letters?  Network Site Visits?  Issue priority Unconfirmed ‘pots’

Proactive data cleansing - Orphaned  Report to identify potential duplicates from ‘Orphaned’ pot  Using ‘Fuzzy match’ principles  Matched MSN and address (in line with DUP procedure)  In total 6,409 MPR’s with asset attached  147 ~ High confidence of duplicate (backed by manual checks)  18 ~ Possible; raise internal DUP  6244 ~ Not duplicates  Options to progress high confidence duplicates  Set to ‘EX’  Request sample Site Visits

Proactive data cleansing - PTS  Report to identify potential duplicates from ‘PTS’ (Shipperless sites derived from GSR process)  Using ‘Fuzzy match’ principles  Matched assumed MSN & address (in line with DUP procedure)  In total 2,120 MPR’s in population  64 ~ High confidence of duplicate (backed by manual checks)  9 ~ Possible; raise internal DUP  2047 ~ Not duplicates  Options to progress high confidence duplicates  Set to ‘EX’  Request sample Site Visits

Proactive data cleansing - SSP  Report to identify potential duplicates from ‘SSP’ (Shipperless sites derived from GSR process)  Using ‘Fuzzy match’ principles  Matched assumed MSN & address (in line with DUP procedure)  In total 4,749 MPR’s in population  106 ~ High confidence of duplicate (backed by manual checks)  10 ~ Possible; raise internal DUP  4,633 ~ Not duplicates  Options to progress high confidence duplicates  Set to ‘EX’  Request sample Site Visits

Proactive data cleansing – No activity  Report to identify potential duplicates from ‘No Activity’ pot  Using ‘Fuzzy match’ principles  Matched assumed MSN & address (in line with DUP procedure)  In total 1,408 MPR’s in population  3 ~ High confidence of duplicate (backed by manual checks)  3 ~ Possible; raise internal DUP  1,402 ~ Not duplicates  Options to progress high confidence duplicates  Set to ‘EX’  Request sample Site Visits

Modification 0410  Currently at draft proposal stage  New Connections where gas off-taken at Unregistered sites  Transporter responsibility  Where MPR’s created for non Shipper parties  Shipper responsibility  Where MPR requested by Shipper  Consideration to current processes  Impacts on reporting  Requirements to support change

Fitting meters without advising Supplier  Anne Jackson

AOB  Any other business…
