  identify any new data items

  (NCORM)

  issues

Market Information Provision Initiative (MIPI)
Project - Background

• 2 stage approach adopted for replacement of
  systems and rationalisation of data provision
• Phase 1
• Transfer key data, effectively all forecast and
  most after the day reporting, to a new platform
• Provide data based approach rather than reports
• Introduce APIs
• Phase 2
• Transfer remaining data from IE3 and other
  website systems
• Deliver new or revised data requirements
  resulting from UNC Review Group140
• Deliver UNC Mods (219 223)
• Decommission IE3

MIPI RG140 Deliverables (1)

• Functionality enhancements delivered through MIPI
  (phase 1 2)
• Users will be able to download their selection of
  data items over the date range of their choosing
• APIs will be supported
• The information will use standardised units, e.g.
  mcm, kWh
• Data history will generally be made available for
  a period of two years
• Specific data items, that required to be
  supported by an extended history, will be
  accommodated in a different way, or made
  available on request
• If a data item has previous history, e.g. a
  previous Days estimate, this will still be
  accessible behind current data
• Where interim data values were produced, the
  history will be made available behind the item

6
MIPI RG140 Deliverables (2)

• Data Items
• All data items will be produced/published at the
  earliest possible time/date
• Simply derived data, e.g. percentage differences
  between forecast and actual demand, will not be
  published if the raw data, on which the
  calculation was based, is readily available
• The RG140 report also highlights some new data
  items to be included in Gas Market Reporting
  System (GMRS) and the majority have been included.

7
MIPI RG140 Deliverables (3)

• Data Items - exceptions
• Supply some data items are subject to a
  separate iGMS release planned for Summer next
  year
• Prices National Grid are unable to publish
  certain pricing data items (hour by hour SAP, SMP
  buy and SMP sell) as the data is owned by APX and
  they have not given us permission to do so
• RG140 report highlights some new data items
  suggested by BGT, such as entry and exit
  pressures
• No consensus on the merits of publishing such
  data items was reached at the time.  As a result
  National Grid do not plan to make any changes in
  this regard
