Withdrawn Sites with Live MPRNs with no

Meter Attached

Background

• In January, Xoserve made the S&U Workgroup aware of the existence of a number of Shipperless Sites on UK-Link that are not necessarily included in the S&U process.

• The group discussed the issue and agreed to contemplate what, if any action was required to address these records which fall outside the definition of a “Shipperless Site”:

“Shipperless Meter Point – A Supply Point that has no current registered Shipper but previously had one, and for which it has been established that gas is being consumed through a meter.”
