Latest update This Draft Proposal has been confirmed as withdrawn by the Proposer on 16 August 2021 in accordance with the Right to Withdraw provisions in SEC Section D.

What is the issue?

The issue is that based on the current parameters the equation for the electricity pricing within the DUIS limits the tariffs that can be used. The limitation in values for Block tariff, TOU tariff and Hybrid tariff only allows for a maximum price of 32.767 pence per kWh being applied to the meter to an accuracy of three decimal places. If any price is to be applied above 32.767 pence, then the pricing will be shortened to two decimal point pricing. The Price Scale effectively shifts where the decimal place is to be set within the tariff Price. As a result of this limited range there is a limitation to the highest number. The Proposer would like to have this set of Price limitation for electricity amended or removed from the DUIS. It is worth highlighting that these price limitations do not apply to gas pricing in the DUIS.
