19 July 2022 Update on MOC (MDS) Requesting Party (RP) Decommissioning Timetable and Letter to the Secretary of State

19 July 2022

The DCC wrote to the Secretary of State on 4 July 2022 to recommend that the Requesting Party for the Middle Operating Capability (MOC) (MDS) cohort is closed down from 31 July 2022, seeking approval of the RP Decommissioning Timetable for the Requesting Party for the MOC (MDS) cohort (see the previous Latest News update here).

On 19 July 2022, DCC withdrew this request for approval of the RP Decommissioning Timetable for the Requesting Party for the MOC (MDS) cohort. DCC considers it will be prudent to continue Migration attempts past 31 July 2022 as there remains a material number of SMETS1 Installations for the MOC (MDS) cohort that DCC will not have either Migrated or else demonstrated persistent failure by 31 July 2022.

The DCC plans to consult on a revised proposed RP Decommissioning Timetable for the Requesting Party for the MOC (MDS) cohort shortly.
