Proposer Gordon Hextall
Lead Analyst SEC Change
Date raised 21/06/2021
StageImplemented
Implementation date 24/02/22 (February 2022 SEC Release)
Latest update This modification was implemented on 24 February 2022 (February 2022 SEC Release)

What is the issue?

The SMKI PMA has carried out a review of the SMKI and Data Communications Company (DCC) Key Infrastructure (DCCKI) Document Sets as required by Smart Energy Code (SEC) Section L ‘Smart Metering Key Infrastructure and DCC Key Infrastructure’ (paragraph 1.17). It has identified housekeeping changes and general improvements that need to be made due to updated SEC versions since 2014 that have not been fully or accurately reflected in the extensive SMKI Document Set.

In addition, the review identified a number of inconsistencies, omissions and improved drafting needed between different parts of the SEC together with standards that need to be amended. This is because they have been superseded or discontinued. Lastly, it has been identified that the SMKI Recovery processes require greater clarity for Subscribers.

What is the solution?

The Proposed Solution is to implement the changes identified from the SMKI and DCCKI Document Set review. These changes have been identified by the SMKI Specialist and reviewed and recommended by the SMKI PMA Working Group. They have also been reviewed by SECAS and have been shared with and agreed by the DCC who are members of the SMKI PMA.

Who is impacted?

DCC
