2. Why change?
Please use bullets to summarise what in the UNC is wrong and creating problems
This Modification seeks only to update the AQ Values currently contained within Section G, Annex G-3 with those currently held within the LDZ CSEP NExA, Annex A
The assignment of an AQ value from Annex G-3 represents an estimate only of the domestic customer’s consumption. This process can be used to appeal a domestic AQ where specific information relating to the gas ratings of appliances at a customer’s property is not known.
The use of the AQ Values within the LDZ CSEP NExA was considered a reasonable alternative in the absence of any published consumption information relating to domestic occupied properties
When Mod 392 was raised it omitted to include the requirement to update Annex G-3.
This Modification will ensure the continued alignment of AQ Values held within Annex G-3 and the LDZ CSEP NExA, Annex A

3. Options Update to Section G, Annex G-3 only
Please use bullets to summarise what options have been considered to fix the identified problem. Is a UNC modification the only route?
Update to Section G, Annex G-3 only

4. Solution
Please use bullets to briefly outline the solution contained within the modification.
Update UNC Section G, Annex G-3 with the revised AQ values implemented via Mod 392
It is not proposed at this time that a formal review of the AQ values contained within the above table is undertaken to determine if they remain reflective of new build AQ values. A periodic review of these AQ values is undertaken via the iGT Shipper Group in accordance with the procedure implemented within iGT UNC Mod 051.
