We are very excited to announce that on Monday 29 July 2024, additional functionality will be deployed to My EMRS to accommodate the ‘Process Transfer from Delivery Body to Settlement Body for Metering Activities’.

We will be operating these activities below and Capacity Providers will use My EMRS to undertake these processes:

  • Metering Configuration/Aggregation Rules
  • Change Request
  • Metering Assessments
  • Metering Test
  • Metering Test Certificate
  • Demand Side Response (DSR) Component Reallocation

We will be publishing the new Capacity Market Metering Register on the Settlement Data for Capacity Providers webpage. Once this is first published we will highlight this on our website within News.

What are the benefits of this?

As highlighted by Ofgem in their decision regarding CP373, these changes will simplify the prequalification processes by moving the Metering activities post prequalification for Applicants or/and Capacity Providers to complete.

For ESC and EMRS these changes bring together and centralise both metering and settlement activities, benefiting the accuracy of Settlement. These changes should lead to an improved customer experience, providing clarity on Delivery Partner accountability for these Metering processes.

How will we support you?

We will be engaging with Capacity Providers in a number of ways to support the new processes within My EMRS.

This will include:

  • Engaging with Capacity Providers at the Delivery Body Prequlaification Launch Event on 23 July 2024
  • Email and News confirmation of launch of the updates to Capacity Providers on 29 July 2024

This will be supported with us publishing updated Guidance and Working Practice documents. Also, we will be updating the Stakeholder Support for Capacity Providers, Settlement Data for Capacity Providers and About My EMRS webpages.

Following launch, Capacity Providers will have the opportunity to view the new functionality and check the updated documents and webpages.

On 10 September 2024, we are hosting a webinar to highlight the key processes and functionality, with time for a Q&A with Capacity Providers. We are looking to combine this with an update of pre-Delivery Year and Delivery Year activities. For more information and to register, please click here.

What information do we currently have available?

We strongly recommend you familiarise yourself with the information available on our dedicated Latest Changes webpage for CP373, which centralises all relevant information Capacity Providers need to be aware of, including impacted documentation and more details on the processes we will take on.

On 23 July 2024 we presented  at the Capacity Market Prequalification Launch Event hosted by Delivery Body. Our presentation included an update on CP373, and provides some screenshots of what the new functionality will look like in My EMRS. Click here to view the slides.
