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

Energy Networks Association Workstream 4: Key Milestones Scoped for this Year Jason Brogden (ENA)
Overview • Previously presented to Advisory Group on proposed areas of work that can deliver whole energy system benefits. • Open Networks Steering Group and Gas Futures Group agreed to progress development work. • Development work on Investment Planning and Real-Time/Day Ahead Operation will be prioritised. • Prioritisation on key areas reduces risk highlighted by stakeholders that a wide scope of Workstream 4 could compromise delivery of other higher priority workstreams and products 12
WS4 Proposal - Revised Customer Data Processes & Segmentation Principles Finalise & Approve Further Process Early Development Outcomes Development P1. Customer connection process P2. Real-Time/Day Ahead Operations P3. Season / year ahead forecasting P4. Investment planning 13
WS4 Timeline - Draft 14
WS4 Product 2 – Real time / day ahead Problem Review operational processes at real time and day ahead to (i) improve data provision for customers, (ii) explore opportunities for sharing statement(s) / existing best practice between networks, and (iii) identifying opportunities for more data sharing across networks. Focus on next 3-5 years to hypotheses prioritise quick wins and futureproof where possible. Activity Sub-deliverable A: Sub-deliverable B: Identify activities that impact / support cross-vector operation and Target processes for implementation across network operator, optimisation e.g. which are likely to result in consequential business change (this is Site nominations (sites inform control centres as to planned hours of likely to be different across different network operators operation) depending on what processes they have in place now) Major outages (look at circumstances where we should share Suggested / identified Code Changes, System Changes, Process information) Changes System Operation forecasts (data transactions) Recommendations for further work Test value i.e. potential benefits vs additional workload Identification of barriers [regulatory etc.] Review existing terminology and aim to create common dictionary to terms of agree common language Output Sub-deliverable A: Report findings and options/ recommendations for Sub-deliverable B: Implementation plan (Date: November 2019) improvement Case study for appropriate customer type(s) (Date: September 2019) Product Elec (T): Gas (T): Elec (D): Gas (D): Non-networks: Ofgem participants Interactions Close linkages with other products in workstream 4 Link to the Energy Data Taskforce group Legal restrictions around data sharing and transparency WS1B – real time data exchange 15
WS4 Product 4 – Investment planning Problem statement(s) / Incremental whole system capacity can be realised by identifying a range of credible whole system investment options (>3 hypotheses years ahead) and optimising the use of existing capacity across gas and electricity networks. Implementing process improvements and information provision can lead to this additional capacity which will in turn support regional authority ambitions and improve customer service. Activity Sub-deliverable A: 1. Process mapping to identify drivers, triggers, timescales and data inputs across network investment analysis. Identify common elements for long term investment planning when initiated by regional authority requirements/strategies. 2. Identify process improvements to the regional authority long term planning interface with energy network investment planning. Improve quality, efficiency and customer experience through coordination and common inputs and processes. 3. Case study with a local authority to understand the value from process improvements, whole energy solutions, and information provision. Map process for high-capacity connections/customers and identify opportunities for improved information transparency. Sub-deliverable B: 1. Scope changes required 2. Identify parties involved in implementing changes 3. Work with parties to create timeline and implementation plan Output Sub-deliverable A: Report on initial findings (September 2019) Sub-deliverable B: Implementation plan (November 2019) Product participants Elec (T): Gas (T): Elec (D): Gas (D): Non-networks: Ofgem, local authorities, transport sector, Energy UK), Scottish Government Interactions Close linkages with other products in workstream 4 WS1B – Investment Planning outputs; revised NOA processes 16
Contributions to Workstream 4 Development from Stakeholders • Would anyone like to be directly involved in the development of products in WS4? • There is the opportunity for stakeholders to join the product teams and contribute to development work. • We are not looking for observers - people will need to dedicate time to Open Networks development to directly contribute. • Please identify yourselves to us today; by email; or in the feedback forms 17
