Our Plan on a Page
RECCo’s Plan on a Page (PoAP) provides a high-level visual representation of current and future initiatives being undertaken by the RECCo executive team, highlighting the key and critical milestones to meet each Programme’s objectives. You can access the current PoAP here.
RECCo is also in the process of identifying its next steps in further consolidating the metering codes of practice arrangements which were incorporated into the REC under Retail Code Consolidation (RCC) Significant Code Review (SCR). This will include consideration of the consolidation of annual audit requirements upon REC Parties to improve the efficiency of current arrangements.
RECCo will provide further updates on this programme of work following engagement with the REC Metering Expert Panel and RECCo stakeholders to understand the forward work plan.
