Advisory Group ToR Reminder The Advisory Group is essential to our project to:  Ensure stakeholders are aware and taking the Project into account;  Request input from stakeholders to improve the quality of our products;  Increase awareness about project risks & issues, ask for views on risks & issues and collaboratively resolve where appropriate. We will provide input to:  Steering Group on project scope, progress, risks & issues;  Workstreams with deliverable comments/feedback. We will seek to send information in advance of meetings to ensure that views can be sought by trade associations in advance. Our objective is to encourage open feedback from you all across all of our work. Thank you for the continued input. 3

BEIS / Ofgem Open Networks Letter • Recently, BEIS and Ofgem sent an open letter to ENA on their view of the work of the Open Networks Project. • We welcome BEIS and Ofgem’s continued support of the Open Networks Project, and are pleased to be working closely with them to deliver the smart grid. The clarity in highlighting priorities will be taken forward in our future work, as we continue to work with all stakeholders to deliver the smart grid. • The full letter from BEIS & Ofgem is available here, and the initial response from our CEO, David Smith, is available here. • We are developing a more complete response that we will publish as an open letter in response this month. • ENA will also be responding to the Distribution System Operation ED2 consultation 7

Flexibility Development: Stakeholder Participation  The development work of Workstream 1a: Flexibility Services has been opened up to wider stakeholder participation, to help develop products beyond the existing Advisory Group input.  Workstream 1a is currently developing the following products, and the project team would encourage further stakeholder participation in its development work: o P1: Flexibility Market Principles P2: DSO Services – Procurement Processes o P3: DSO Services – Dispatch and Settlement Processes o P4: DSO Services – Commercial Arrangements o P5: DSO Services – Conflict Management & Co-optimisation o o P6: Facilitation of New Markets  The Open Networks Workstream Working Groups have responsibility for the definition, review and approval (or recommendation of submission to the Steering Group for approval) of all Workstream outputs.  Reporting to the Workstream Working Group, we have convened a number of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) into product development teams to develop products and submit content for review and guidance from the Working Group. This enables us to develop content in between the Working Group meetings (typically every 3 weeks) and to maintain pace in delivery in the project.  Typically, this will require between half and one day’s work a week to provide the necessary input into product development.  The Terms of Reference for participating in Workstream 1A development work can be found here. To find out more about participating in Workstream 1a, please email us at opennetworks@energynetworks.org. 8

2020 Workplan: Stakeholder Participation  We intend to ask stakeholders for their views on our open letter response:  Whilst we are not formally consulting on this letter response, we would welcome any input from stakeholders on how we have responded to the challenges set by Ofgem and BEIS in their letter and particularly what we will set as our priorities and development work for 2020 and beyond. We are beginning to plan our work for 2020 and draft our annual Project Initiation Document, therefore there is an opportunity to provide stakeholder input to our panning in whilst it is still in development. We would encourage any stakeholders to provide feedback to us at the following email address: opennetworks@energynetworks.org  We plan to give 4 weeks to respond (any longer and we won’t be able to take feedback into account)  This gives stakeholders the opportunity to shape our priorities up-front.  We have also planned to consult on our full Workplan and PID in Q1 2020, but we are conscious of the draw on industry resources and the need to for us to focus our consultations on key areas.  Questions for you today:  Would you welcome the opportunity to provide feedback on our Open Letter response?  Would you still like to be given the opportunity to provide feedback on our PID in Q1 by formal consultation? 9

Energy Networks Association Workstream 2 Product 1: System Wide Resource Register John West (ENA)

ON Steering Group Agreement to Establish Registers Following detailed proposals in July, the ON Steering Group approved: I. Separate resource registers for each network company area. These will have a consistent format across DNOs and will cover connected and contracted resources >1MW, network reinforcements and information on services. II. Initial registers will be published by January 2020. As the publication of network reinforcements will require new internal DNO processes, this part of the data will be in place by July 2020. III. The work will be taken forward alongside DCUSA modification DCP 350. If licence obligations are not established to allow the publication of customer names & sites, the registers will be delivered with some information anonymised. 11

Recap & Update The SWRR and interactions with other initiatives DCUSA proposal DCP350 to establish DER registers was reviewed at the 17 th July DCUSA panel meeting. It was agreed to set up a working group and seek further advice on confidentiality aspects.
