ICP metered disconnections as business as usual

We said we would implement metered disconnections for ICPs.

We worked with Independent Connections Provider Power On Connections, to develop all the necessary business processes; identify appropriate projects and carry out a metered disconnections pilot. The pilot was a success, with Power On Connections undertaking a three phase metered service disconnection. As a result, we have been able to prove that suitably accredited ICPs are capable of carrying out this work and therefore we see no reason why this activity should not be opened up to competition.

Following on from the initial pilot we now have the business as usual processes in place that allows us to process an enquiry from a suitably accredited ICP to undertake a single or three phase whole current metered disconnection. However, interest from ICPs since the pilot remains limited at this time. Having gained valuable experience from the pilot and accordingly, should ICPs want to extend their activities into metered disconnections then we are now able to service their future needs.
