The Market Operator's

(MOSL) 2021-24 business plan identified the strategic metering
review as a key improvement programme after metering was identified as contributing
to a number of market frictions at the 2019 CEO forum. The review was initiated to
identify and implement a programme of metering-related improvement initiatives, with
a focus on accurate and timely consumption data. The metering committee was
established to support the review.
This Change Proposal has been developed by the metering committee as part of the
strategic metering review and focuses on proposed amendments to minimum Meter
Read frequencies.

Unless otherwise specified, the terms used in this document are those defined in the WRC.
We are rejecting this Change Proposal. The final recommendation report details
that the revised proposal is seeking to amend the definition of Monthly Read Meter so
that a greater proportion of consumption in the market would have monthly Meter
Reads. However, the report does not provide information or evidence as to why this is
considered to be necessary, nor does it sufficiently analyse the impacts that this
change would have. As a result, we cannot be confident that this Change Proposal
would further the interests of customers.
