This is our decision to approve Smart Energy Code (SEC) Modification Proposal (MP) 219 'Accessing Consumption Data on behalf of SEC Parties'. We have considered the issues raised by the proposal and the Final Modification Report (FMR) submitted to us on 28 March 2025. We have also considered and taken into account the votes of the SEC Change Board on the proposal. We have concluded that:
- implementation of the modification proposal will better facilitate the achievement of the General SEC Objectives
- directing that the change is approved is consistent with the Authority’s principal objective and statutory duties.
Reasons for our decision
We consider this modification proposal will better facilitate the first and third General SEC Objectives.
We also consider this modification will be best facilitated following the launch of the proposed Consumer Consent Solution, as the review and potential withdrawal of permission will be better enabled and standardised for consumers. However, after careful consideration, and due to the Consumer Consent Solution not being delivered until the end of 2026, we consider the parameters set by the legal text in the SEC and the PCF’s auditory processes sufficiently robust for this modification’s approval.
