On 1 October 2021, the Authority decided to approve MP134A ‘Use of SMKI Certificates relating to a SoLR event’. An updated version of the SEC came into effect on 4 October 2021 to implement MP134A.
The Authority Decision letter can be found on the MP134A page of our website.
What is the solution?
In a Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) event, MP134A enables the Smart Metering Key Infrastructure (SMKI) Policy Management Authority (PMA) to delay the revocation of the SMKI Certificates. This would allow a Shared Resource provider (SRP) to put prepayment customers into a ‘safe mode’ where they will not lose supply if they run out of credit.
What parts of the SEC were affected?
The following parts of the SEC were affected:
- SEC Section A ‘Definitions and Interpretation’
- SEC Section L ‘Smart Metering Key Infrastructure and DCC Key Infrastructure’
- SEC Section M ‘General’
- SEC Appendix B ‘ Organisation Certificate Policy’
- SEC Appendix Q ‘IKI Certificate Policy’
- SEC Appendix S ‘DCCKI Certificate Policy’
