Consultation outcome (January 2014):

Following its initial designation, further content for the SEC is being introduced in stages. Some of this content is contained in stage two of the SEC (SEC2), the legal text of which is the subject of this Consultation response document.

SEC2 sets out provisions relating to the provision of registration information, connection to and use of the DCC User Gateway, the enrolment of Smart Metering Systems, requesting DCC services and rules for Service and Incident Management. They also include provisions for the establishment of a technical subcommittee and set out controls that each party will be required to implement to protect the security of the end-to-end smart metering arrangements.

Consultation outcome (December 2013):

This response and further consultation provides the government鈥檚 conclusions on one of the issues discussed in the October 2013 consultation on the Smart Energy Code (SEC). This is the proposed provisions in the SEC to support the delivery of cost-effective, viable and sustainable third party financing for communications hubs.

The government has concluded that these provisions are a proportionate and appropriate mechanism for helping to secure the most cost-effective financing for an initial 5% of the expected total number of communications hubs. However, as a result of information received during that consultation a further consequential consultation is needed on changes to the DCC licence to support these provisions.
