Industry is Implementing Smart to the DTS

• DTC CP 3336 - Revisions to assess condition reporting

• DTC CP 3349 – Addition of new meter types for smart meters

• BSC P272 - Mandatory HH settlement for PC5-8 smart meters

• BSC CP1388 - Meter Technical Details for Smart Meters

• BSC CP1395 - Distribution of Configuration Details for Smart Meters

• BSC CP1390 - New MDD entity for SMETS Version

• MAP CP150 - Update to MAP09 to introduce a new data item in the MPAS address for the UPRN

• DTC CP3362 - Revisions to the DTC related to the SMIP Consequential Changes: Registration

• DTC CP3378 - Amendments to structure of the D0204 ‘selective or full refresh of MPAS details’ data flow

• DTC CP3379 - Inclusion of the Smart MPAD data items in the D0089 ‘Notification from MPAS of changed metering point details’.


• Meter location – Meter installation, change of supply, various meter

operations activity

• Meter installations – Meter installation

• Site visit codes – Visits to site e.g. meter reads

• Installation Issues – Meter installation

• Change of supply – Change of supply events

DTS Data Relevant to Smart Meter Rollout


• Suppliers strategy – Where to target

– Likely issues installation issues

• MOP strategy – What specific equipment am I likely to need

– How many are the teams going to need

• DNO planning – What is the likely level of installation issues

– What size work force will be required

• Seeing how behaviour changes as a result of Smart
