DR1180 – New Registrations(1/2) CER have reviewed the New Registration’ process for customers who do not actively choose a supplier as part of the new connection process. In the interest of a level playing field and to further support the development of competition, CER are considering a change to the current default process to a single supplier. The core driver from CER is that the default Supplier, for sites which do not elect a supplier within 5 days of energisation, should not automatically be Electric Ireland. This is seen to be an unfair advantage from market perspective. The intention of the change request is to look at the process and develop an equitable process around New Connections which does not give unfair advantage to any one supplier. RMDS recommends that New Registrations would follow a similar process to that which exists for >=30kVA new connections. The customer must sign up with a supplier of choice before energisation The choice of the Supplier is therefore correctly in the hands of the customer. ReMCoDS Retail Markets Co-Ordination Design Service 31 st August 2016
DR1180 – New Registrations(2/2) When the quotation letter for a new connection is sent out to the customer by ESBN this should contain a paragraph which will detail the requirement for mandatory selection of a Supplier by the customer in advance of energisation. The difference to the current process is that for sites < 30 kVA the customer will in future have to contact a Supplier of choice who will submit a registration to ESBN with the customer name, and receipt of the registration by MRSO becomes a requirement before the site is energised.
