Description
Considerations
End-to-End Review
Services & Notifications Procedure
revised Service Orders, One Way Notification and PMD/VMD
new minimum service specification and market efficiency transactions
Meter Data Process – only covering standard meter data delivery
CSDN – no material changes
Technical guideline document (not a procedure) – elements such as Business Event Details moved into relevant procedure
Result in procedures that are better aligned, more consist, and with less duplication
More effort required to update procedures
Larger impact to existing procedures
Moderate Change
Contestable Services Procedure – new minimum service specification and market efficiency transactions
Non-Contestable Services Procedure – retaining transactions not moved to item 1
One Way Notification – remove Meter Exchange transaction
Meter Data Process – no material changes
Technical guidelines document – per option 1
Focus on updating existing and defining new services
Minimise impact to existing procedures not affected by the rule changes
Reduced risk of leaving insufficient time for market readiness activities
Note: All procedures will be undergo Legal review and updated to the new AEMO template

8. Principles for Procedure Drafting
B2B factors; ask that the B2B procedures
come at a reasonable costs of compliance v benefits; 
promote innovation and not restrict barriers to entry;
are able to be implemented in a reasonable timeframe.
B2B Principles; provide procedures that
take a uniform approach in all jurisdictions;
are efficient, effective and reliable;
avoid discrimination between parties;
protect the confidentiality of commercially sensitive
information.
B2B communications; must include
data inputs/outputs;
timings and process maps;
content and format;
delivery method and backup.
B2B Parties are:
Distribution Network Service Providers, Retailers, Local Retailers, Metering Coordinators, Metering Providers, Metering Data Providers, Embedded Network Managers and other Third Party B2B Participants.
B2B Procedures – simple communications to affect metering and market outcomes. Should be simple, efficient, reliable and easy to implement and promote innovation in advanced meter services.
They do not impose barriers to entry or discriminate between parties. They do protect confidential information and ensure a uniform approach in all states.
