MP218: Review of the SEC Charging Methodology

SEC (Smart Energy Code)·notice·LOW·30 Sept 2022·source document

What is being proposed

Smart Energy Code (SEC) Section K ‘Charging Methodology’ sets out how the DCC charges SEC Parties, including how the types of Fixed Charges are apportioned between DCC Users and how communications services (the sending of Service Requests (SRs)) are charged. The Smart Energy Code Company (SECCo) Board has been investigating how much work is generated by Other Users, and agreed that further investigation into the current charging arrangements would be beneficial. To support this investigation, the DCC has raised this modification at the request of the SECCo Board and SECAS, to review the DCC Charging methodology and determine whether any change should be taken forward.
