Government response to consultation on proposals regarding the Baseline Margin Project Performance Adjustment Scheme for Data Communications Company SMETS1 Services and Direction that the Scheme is made

On 22 August 2019 the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) have concluded the consultation on Baseline Margin Project Performance Adjustment Scheme (BMPPAS) for Data Communications Company (DCC) SMETS1 Services.

The consultation proposed an incentives scheme to tie the DCC margin for delivery of its SMETS1 Service to the final quantity of Smart Metering Systems (SMSs) successfully Enrolled, and the speed at which their Enrolment takes place.

The consultation response letter can be found here.

The Scheme is now made and as outlined in the original consultation provides incentive for the DCC in the delivery of the SMETS1 Services outlined by the Licence Condition 13 plans.

Where can I find further information?

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please email smartmetering@beis.gov.uk.
