Q&A

imp-call_q+a

Questions will be received by the community via Microsoft Teams chat before the questions are opened to the floor. Participants can submit questions outside of the CDR Implementation Call to the CDR Support Portal.

In regards to topics for questions, we ask the participants on the call to consider the Community Guidelines when posing questions to the subject matter experts.

Answer provided

Ticket # Question Answer
N/A Filter articles in the support portal
Verbal question in the Implementation Call 26/06/2025

Is there a way to filter all articles/artifacts in the support portal that has been changed within a selected period/days so that it can be reviewed in case it is something that needs to be considered, implemented or be made aware of?
There is no option in ZenDesk to be able to filter articles but there is an “Articles changed in last 7 days” page, but the date range is limited to 7 days. A new page has been created to capture the Articles changed in last 31 days as an alternative.
2544 DP338 - New Fee Types - old version of API called
DP338 introduces several new fee types and removes 'Variable'.

Can you please advise of the expected behaviour for Get Product Detail and Get Account Detail if one of the new fee types is configured, but the pre DP338 version of these APIs is called.

For example:
  • Fee Type is set to Variation
  • Get Product Detail v5 or Get Account Detail v3 is called - which does not have that fee type included

The earlier version should respond with the closest fee type that was available in that version.

For example, you may find that a VARIATION fee would have most closely aligned with an EVENT type in the previous version, but it would be up to the Data Holder to determine the most appropriate value.

If the fee value is truly variable, but the conditional fields in the fee schema require "One of amount, balanceRate, transactionRate and accruedRate" to be provided, then the most appropriate of those fields with a minimum or typical value could be specified. The additionalInfo field could explain the variable nature of the fee as best as possible.
2514 Overlapping time of use tariffs
We have identified an issue in a data holders CDR energy plan data where overlapping time-of-use periods are being returned for the same tariff, creating ambiguity in determining the applicable rate.

For example, A "Night Saver EV Plan" includes an "OFF_PEAK" rate from 12:00 am to 6:00 am and additional overlapping time slots from the general usage network tariff. While the description states that the Night Saver EV rate overrides others during this period, the data holder asks us to rely on the description field where a free text paragraph explains this.

We believe that free text descriptions makes it challenging for automated systems to interpret and determine applicable rates.

Could the standards provide clarification on whether overlapping time-of-use periods are permitted, and, if so, how automated solutions should interpret and prioritize such overlaps?

We seek clarification on how time of use rates are supposed to be structured?

We believe they should be non overlapping so that an automated system can select the right time, based on parsing timestamps
The standards currently do not explicitly prevent sharing of overlapping time of use rates. The DH is expected to share rates aligned with how they would have them defined on their plans, which they share with AER as well.

In response to a valid consumer data request, CDR Rule 4.6 requires a primary data holder to disclose the requested ‘required consumer data’ it is authorised to disclose in accordance with the standards.

Under Schedule 4, clause 3.2 of the CDR Rules, ‘required consumer data’ in the energy sector includes ‘tailored tariff data’ for a relevant account that is open. ‘Tailored tariff data’ is defined by Schedule 4, clause 1.3, item 8 as ‘product specific information in relation to the plan that applies to, and as tailored to, the arrangement to which the account relates’.

The Standards also differentiate between basic energy account information and tailored tariff information. The description of Detailed Energy Account Data in the Standards states that Detailed Energy Account Data ‘includes basic energy account information plus tailored tariff information including charges included in the account or plan’.

In response to a request for Detailed Energy Account Data, a data holder should therefore share tariff data that it is authorised to disclose which reflects the actual operating tariffs and charges that currently apply to the account.
2520 Consumer dashboard - data holder
The consumer dashboard must contain the details of each authorisation to disclose CDR data specified in CDR Rule 1.15(3), including the period for which the CDR consumer gave the authorisation.

For authorisations that expire prior to the scheduled expiry date, are data holders required to display the original period for which the CDR consumer gave the authorisation?
The data holder’s dashboard needs to display the original period for which the CDR consumer gave the authorisation (as required by r 1.15(3)(c)). This is regardless of whether the authorisation expires before or in accordance with the scheduled expiry date.

However, there is some flexibility in how a data holder may choose to implement this requirement, as long as the dashboard is simple and straightforward to use (as required by r 1.15(1)(e)).
