This allows innovators to trial new products, services and business models in a real-world environment without having to comply with all the industry obligations.  \n1.2 So far, the regulatory sandbox has covered obligations controlled by Ofgem based on four eligibility criteria:  \n• Innovation;  \n• consumer benefit;  \n• background research; and  \n• the need for support.  \nIf innovators are not licensed and are seeking derogations, then they will need to work with a licensed business for the duration of the sandbox.  \n1.3 Ofgem are not able to offer relief from the detailed codes which underpin the operation of the gas and electricity markets, and which industry maintain. In order to widen the scope of the sandbox, Ofgem have worked closely with Code administrators and developed Principle 14 - code administrators shall support prospective energy innovators, which now forms part of the Code Administrators Code of Practice (CaCoP)3.  \nWhy  \n1.4 The DCUSA derogation process is not currently flexible enough to cater for sandbox applications and may result in an application being rejected or accepted by the Panel without the Authority position being known after a set period of time has lapsed. This could cause un-necessary frustration and potentially costs to the innovator.  \nHow  \n1.5 The derogation clause 56 is proposed to be amended to cater for the processing of the sandbox applic","cbCaitcHFvYMSfnF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitcHFvYMSfnF","pdf",256409,8,"English","# 1 Summary\n## What\n## Why\n## How\n# 2 Governance\n## Justification for Part 1 and Part 2 Matter\n## Requested Next Steps\n# 3 Why Change?\n## Regulatory sandbox and innovation support","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this change proposal?\",\"answer\":\"To facilitate the processing of sandbox applications within the DCUSA framework by addressing limitations in the current derogation process.\"},{\"question\":\"Which clause is proposed to be amended?\",\"answer\":\"Clause 56 (Derogations) is proposed to be amended to support sandbox application processing and enable coordinated send-back and accept/reject actions by the Panel and the Authority.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the timetable for consultation and decision-making structured?\",\"answer\":\"The document sets an indicative schedule covering initial assessment, issuing consultation to industry participants, panel approval, voting, issuing change declarations to parties and the authority, and an authority decision (with remaining items marked as TBC/TBD).\"}]","DCP 345 - Change Proposal | PDF",1789189526]
