Please visit our Becoming a DCC User webpage and download the UEP Guidance Notes which outline the SECAS and DCC required steps that need to be completed. On this page you will also find the estimated timescales to complete the User Entry Process (UEP).

The DCC steps that you’ll need to complete are outlined here. For the SECAS steps, all SEC Parties will need to complete a Full User Security Assessment (FUSA). Those wishing to complete the UEP in the Other User role will also need to complete a Full User Privacy Assessment (FUPA).

Once you complete the necessary DCC and SECAS steps, you’ll need to submit a UEP Evidence form to the SECAS Helpdesk with all necessary evidence as attachments.

If you have any questions, please contact the SECAS Helpdesk.

Please visit our Becoming a SEC Party webpage and download the Accession Guidance Notes explaining the steps required to complete the Accession process.

You will need to complete the online SEC Accession Application Form and submit an Application Fee of £540 (plus a £1 payment for a Share in the Smart Energy Code Company (SECCo) which is mandatory for Ofgem Licensees and optional for those applying as an Other SEC Party). Purchasing a Share will allow you to take part in certain SEC Party votes such as the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

SECAS will verify your submitted details in the application form and will then send you an invoice for you to make the necessary payment.

If you have any questions, please contact the SECAS Helpdesk.
