National ‘Temporary’ UIG Monitoring (1)

Summary

There is currently no independent view as to when levels of temporary UIG will reach permanency. This change request seeks to procure a budget (ideally from existing/remaining UIG Task Force funds) for CDSP subject matter experts to analyse the available industry data to provide a central national ‘forecast’ for UIG reconciliation.

This should initially focus on the trends (allocation / reconciliation) to date, to report how the national cumulative level of temporary UIG (for each consumption month / LDZ level) will change over the coming [18 months], with the output being reported both as a % (of national throughput) and KWh value.

This initial analysis should work on the basis of as-is industry patterns, including shipper read performance and be ‘updatable’ on a monthly basis as these conditions change.

The analysis might also include how CDSP recommendations (both existing and future) are expected to impact the veracity of amendment to allocated UIG levels.

It is proposed that progress and output from this analysis should be communicated with the appropriate UNC Committees (DESC/ PAC)
