Switching Programme Data Working Group (DWG)

The DWG

The Data Working Group (DWG) coordinated switching programme activity and also built data knowledge resilience into the programme. 

The duties of the DWG included:

  • Agreement and management of policies, risks and issues relating to data across the Switching Programme. This will include quantifying the impact of proposed data changes as well as identifying data risks and issues.
  • Defining, prioritising and scheduling potential solutions to issues and tracking them to resolution.
  • Monitoring the progress of data acceptance, migration and cleansing activities in accordance with the requirements of the design baseline and delivery plan
  • Identifying and driving data related activities to support the operation of the market through transition.
  • Reviewing and actioning recommendations resulting from any Change Requests that have an impact on data and data assurance commissioned by Ofgem.

The DWG was open to all those in industry who are required to participate in data cleansing, data population or data migration as set out in the Switching Programme Design Baseline 4 and Ofgem’s open letter regarding near term improvements to address and meter data.

DCC, the System Integrator and CSS provider also attended.
