This Open Letter is regarding the importance of Data Best Practice (DBP) Guidance as Ofgem’s primary tool for surfacing, sharing, and making interoperable, the data held by various actors in the energy sector; and how we expect this Guidance to apply to parties in their roles as Central System Delivery Bodies (CSDBs), Code Panels, Code Administrators, and all licensed entities (Relevant Bodies). This Open Letter outlines our intention for DBP Guidance to be integrated into the industry codes, with a particular focus on entities which handle significant portions of data used by code participants (such as CSDBs).
In this letter we will outline our proposed approach for implementing DBP Guidance, including our expectations on activities undertaken by you to support this implementation.
