v13.00.00 Cutover Approach Update

• ESBN estimates that cutover for the v13.00.00 Market Release will require 10-11 days

• The cutover is made up of two parts:

1. A system outage of 3-4 days on the Retail Market Systems to deploy v13.00.00

Schema

2. Syncing the Smart Meter data between the Retail Market and AMI Systems,

estimated to require 6-7 days

• Smart Meter data sync (part 2), which is specific to the ROI jurisdiction only, can be

carried out while the Retail Market Systems are operational, with the following caveat:

• Smart Data Services (SDS) should not be requested before:

• the 4th Jan 2021 (in line with agreed Industry Positions), and

• until after the Smart Meter data sync is complete

• From the time that v13.00.00 Schema is deployed until the Smart Meter data sync has

completed, there are a number of Market Messages that will be rejected if they are

submitted with SDS populated (see appendix for details).

• As part of v13.00.00 testing and dress rehearsals, ESBN is in the process of validating

these scenarios and timings.



v13.00.00 Proposed cutover window options

• ESBN have looked at two options:

1. System outage commences COB Friday 18th December 2020

• System outage expected to finish at latest on Monday 21st December

• v13.00.00 operational post system outage as per v13.00.00 Cutover Approach

• Smart Meter data sync expected to finish by 31st December

2. System outage commences Saturday 26th December 2020

• System outage expected to finish at latest on Tuesday 29th December

• v13.00.00 operational post system outage as per v13.00.00 Cutover Approach

• Smart Meter data sync expected to finish by w/e 8th January 2021

• ESBN are minded towards option 1: System outage commences COB Friday 18th

December 2020.

• ESBN will also consult with other stakeholders such as MRSO & NIE Networks.

• ESBN are seeking feedback from Market Participants on the above options to

ReMCoDS by COB Friday 7th May 2020.



Appendix

• Within the ROI jurisdiction, Smart Data Services can be requested on the Market

Messages below. These Market Messages will be accepted between Go-Live of

v13.00.00 Schema and completion of the Smart Meter data sync, once they are not

submitted with a request for Smart Data Services.

• Example:

• 016 – Change of Legal Entity

• A valid 016 without SDS populated will be accepted

• An 016 submitted with SDS populated e.g. request for CoLE and 01 Interval Smart

Data Services / MCC12 will be rejected in its entirety

Message No. Message Description

010 Registration Request

013 Customer Details Change

016 Change Of Legal Entity

017 Meter Point Status Change Request

(Note: SDS can be requested for Re-Energisation only)


Access Agreement Approach

• The existing Extranet Access Agreement requires updating to ensure GDPR

compliance.

• A similar Access Agreement is required for the existing Secure File Transfer Service

(SFTS), and for the new MPRN Enquiry Web Service.

• To meet the above requirements, ESB Networks will draft a general Access

Agreement containing three Schedules to cover the access mechanisms:

• RMP Extranet

• Secure File Transfer Service (SFTS).

• MPRN Enquiry Web Service

• This general Access Agreement will supersede the existing Extranet Access

Agreement.

• The Access Agreement will need to be approved and signed by Market Participants in

advance of the v13.00.00 Market Release.

• The Access Agreement document will be communicated and shared with Market

Participants as per the timeline outlined on the next slide.


Access Agreement Timeline

• The Access Agreement document will be communicated as per the timeline below

Re-Energise with CoLE for v13.00.00

• Proposed v13.00.00 market design states that for Non-Interval sites:

• When a site is re-energised, MM307 billing message is issued to the registered Supplier

(MPD10)

• When a CoLE is processed, MM300 billing message is issued to the registered Supplier

(MPD25)

• BAU operation is that where a Re-Energisation with CoLE takes place, both are

processed separately and MM307 and MM300 billing messages are issued to the

registered Supplier. This is not specifically called out in either MPD10 or MPD25.

• This will continue to be the case from Go-Live of v13.00.00 for Non-Smart sites.

• For Smart sites post v13.00.00 release, where a Re-Energisation with CoLE is

requested, as per proposed design the CoLE will be processed once the Re-

Energisation is complete. MM307 billing message only will issue to the registered

Supplier; MM300 will not issue.

Change Summary This MCR sets out ESB Networks process for invoicing and collecting PSO money relating to

Commercial Storage units. ESB Networks proposed this manual solution to the CRU in response

to CRU/19/034 on the basis that the number of customers involved are relatively low and that it is

limited in scope i.e. to commercial storage sites only.

ESB Networks will update it owns Embedded Generator application process to include details on

how a commercial storage unit applies for and agrees a house load MIC with ESB Networks.

ESB Networks will contact commercial storage customers who have already made a connection

application and will discuss MIC requirements with those customers.

Classification • For Approval as an MCR
