3. MPD 5: Change of Shipper Correction & Amendment

4. MPD 43 PPM Refunds Process
Update & Next Steps • MPD43 has been formally approved by CRU. • GNI’s internal processes have been reviewed and updated to facilitate the roll -out of an enduring quarterly process for refund to PPM customers impacted by meter quality issues. • GNI propose to commence quarterly roll-out of the process in November 2018. • Details of affected customers will be provided and electronic transfer of refunds to impacted Suppliers will be processed by GNI in November and thereafter on a quarterly basis (February, May, August). • November refunds will comprise a “catch - up” of analysis of asset information since previous refunds were issued to impacted customers in May. • Ahead of the November roll-out GNI will contact Suppliers to confirm details of their operational point of contacts to be used for this process. 9

6. Impact Assessment on Priority Flag change
Impact Assessment on Priority Flag change • GNI IT reviewed the current processes around CoS and Priority Sites • Issue is Priority flag being dropped due to incoming CoS message where Shipper does not Flag site as Priority. • GPRO proposal is that when a Priority flag site receives a new G201RQ with “euPriorityFlag="N”” that we do not actually remove flag • This would be a GNI backend change to IUS and requires no Schema changes • Would mean edit to MPD2 to add line to the effect that GNI will not update an existing Priority site to a “N” on a G201RQ • GPRO runs monthly exercises to reconcile Priority numbers and;- • Re-instates flag where dropped • Notifies Shipper of re-instatement • GPRO continues to issue full portfolio to Shippers quarterly • 1 Shipper supports change, 1 queried impact on Shipper workload 14
7. Eircodes
Eircodes • A post-Code field for GasPoint is allowed for the prevailing Schema, but not currently populated ‒ Old Post Code field was adapted to allow a 10-digit alpha numeric value ‒ Shippers had been asked to system test their systems for compatibility • GNI has started to roll-out Eircodes onto our internal GNI systems ‒ Not all GPRNs include a Eircode yet (about 76% are populated as of yesterday) ‒ Will not be issued to Shippers in market facing messages • GNI has had a conference call with ESBN to detail our respective Eircode plans ‒ Will continue to liaise with ESBN on timings • GNI proposes to introduce Eircodes, into Market Messages, after the ESBN Schema in April ‒ Propose 1-month after ESBN • In 2019 closer to the implementation time, GNI can provide a bulk file to Shippers who request one • GNI urges Shippers to consider implications on their own systems, in particular for dual fuel customers 16
8. PPM Solution
PPM Solution Update • At the last GMARG Suppliers were invited to provide their views on the PPM proposal • Two Suppliers responded: ‒ One supplier in favour of progressing and requests that GNI validate the solution and consider implementation plans. Customer site visits and/or trial suggested. ‒ One supplier against progressing on the basis that the solution is not a suitable solution for the ROI Gas market nor consistent with the NSMP. The Supplier advises the focus be kept on resolving the issues with the current solution (e.g. tariff register). • GNI is engaging with Secure to gather more information on their proposed solution. • GNI is engaging with ESBN to understand the current NSMP timelines and technology decision points. • GNI will revert to GMARG in due course.
9. Data Sharing Agreement Code Mod Proposal
Data Sharing Agreement • Discussion held at Code Mod Forum • Focus of discussion was on the risk that proposals could introduce potential “double jeopardy” • GNI agrees with the objective of minimising the risk of double jeopardy and will revert in due course. 20
10. Revenue Protection Code of Practice/Update
Code of Practice Final Working Group Report – Executive Summary • Code of Practice submitted to CRU for CRU approval 26 June 2018 ‒ Code of Practice text ‒ Working Group Report • CRU Approval ‒ Due by 1 September 2018 22
