MP087 Correction to SEC Section G - User Responsibilities

Proposer Gordon Hextall
Lead Analyst SEC Change
Date raised 20/09/2019
StageImplemented
Implementation date 4 November 2019
Latest update The Draft Proposal was approved as a Fast-Track modification at Panel meeting on 11 October 2019. It was implemented on 4 November 2019.

What is the issue?

An error has been identified in the SEC Section G 'Security' which compromises the security of the smart metering system. The section needs to be amended so that it can differentiate between obligations relating to the Communications Hub Function and the Gas Proxy Function (GPF) for Smart metering equipment Technical Specifications (SMETS) 1 and SMETS2+ Devices.

What is the solution?

The Proposed Solution is to amend SEC Section G3.20. This way the SEC will be able to distinguish between who has security obligations on SMETS1 and SMETS2+ Devices using a Communications Hub Function or a Gas Proxy Function (GPF).

Who is impacted?

Supplier Parties
DCC
