On 5 April 2022, DCC issued a consultation titled 'SMETS1 Consultation – Initial Closure Matters'. On 25 May 2022, DCC published a response document titled ‘SMETS1 Conclusion – Initial Closure Matters’ and submitted the documentation to BEIS for consideration by the Secretary of State.
Subsequently, on 4 July 2022, DCC recommended to the Secretary of State that the Requesting Party for the MOC (MDS) cohort be decommissioned from 31 July 2022, and sought approval of the RP Decommissioning Timetable for the Requesting Party for the MOC (MDS) cohort. On 19 July 2022, DCC withdrew this request for approval of the RP Decommissioning Timetable for the Requesting Party for the MOC (MDS) cohort given there remained a material number of SMETS1 Installations for the MOC (MDS) cohort that by 31 July 2022, DCC will have either not Migrated or else not demonstrated persistent failure.
Due to not meeting the original timetable, DCC is required to reconsult on the RP Decommissioning Timetable for the Requesting Party for the MOC (MDS) cohort. On this basis, DCC is now consulting on a revised proposed RP Decommissioning Timetable for the Requesting Party for the MOC (MDS) cohort which proposes closure on Sunday 25 September 2022.
We are seeking your views on our proposals using the provided response template. Please send us your comments by 16:00 on 18 August 2022 via consultations@smartdcc.co.uk as we’re aiming to conclude on this consultation by 2 September 2022.
