The files were issued at 7:00pm on 19th January when they should have been issued by 2:30pm. Unfortunately, this had a knock on affect to subsequent days; 1. The actual Calorific Value (CV) was not loaded into UK Link on 19th January for GFD 18th January. Therefore the energy calculated used an estimated CV value. 2. Estimated reads, where an actual read was not received/accepted, was not calculated for GFD 19th January and was not loaded into Gemini nor issued to Shippers (via the MDR file). 3. Any estimated reads required for GFDs 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd January did not calculate correctly. The energy was correct but the meter reading issued in the file (MDR) was incorrect. |

Unresolved System Exceptions (BI49) | Reconciliations are being held | For MPRNs that are isolated but an incremented read has been received, the system will accept the meter reading but unable to process as the meter point is isolated. A system exception (B149) is raised. We are currently unable to resolve these Exceptions. As at Feb 2020 there are 8,000 exceptions. If the meter point is consuming gas this energy is not being alloated to the meter point & will be picked up in UIG. A CR has been raised to reject these meter readings however the change is not likely to be implemented until 2021. A process is required to resolve these exceptions which will continue to increase. | Reconciliation - Exceptions | Shippers & Networks | Exception raised but unable to resolve and process reconciliations. | 12/1/2019 | Aug-20 | Closed | Consumption adjustments of zero to input to release the reconciliations that have been held in the system.

Incorrect winter consumption calculation for a number of Meter Point Reference Numbers (MPRNS). | Gas Allocations could be incorrect from 1st October 2022. Supply Offtake Quantity (SOQ) values sent in the September .NRL (to be effective 1st October 2022) will potentially be incorrect. Affected MPRNs could be placed into the incorrect EUC band |
An issue was identified with a small number of Winter Consumption calculations whereby the value issued in the May release of the .NRL files (T50 record) is overstated. This is due to the calculation incorporating the energy generated by Meter Reads, and the reconciled energy following a check to check Site Visit read. | AQ process | Shippers | This was due to the sites transferring ownership over the winter period and the new Shipper not having access to the historical consumption data to derive a new value and submit a correction. | 6/5/2020 | Enduring fix implementation date | In Progress | For the affected MPRNs, impacted Shippers have been requested to raise a Winter Consumption correction (.AQI file using Reason Code 5) to apply or amend the proposed WC value. MPRN details which require Winter Consumption corrections was submitted via comms on 29th June 2022 (For Action XCE1955: Incorrect Winter Consumption Calculation).

XRN4740 | Closed | For Class 4 sites with AMR fitted the AQ value calculated is incorrect, as both cyclic and sites visit reads are classed as valid reads. XRN4740 has changed the AQ calculation logic to identify energy between each cyclic read as well as the energy calculated between the Check to Check. Where any cyclical reads energy is identified, between two Check to Check reads, then only the energy for the Check to Check will be used for the AQ calculation | Medium | Yes | 2745 | Deployed on 16/02/2019 | 11/1/2019 | Complete | 979017, A174, A200, A203, 993736 | |||
N/A | Open | N/A | For Class 3 Meter Points, where a meter read is dated between the 5th and the 10th and is accepted within the read submission period, energy has not been calculated for those days, due to the energy factors not being received from Gemini. As the energy is not being calculated for this period of time, this is resulting in the Rolling AQ calculation not using the energy for these days and therefore being understated. |
