8. Green Gas Certification

Biomethane Certification in Ireland

Brendan O’Riordan – Green Gas Certification Project Lead

GMARG- 18th April 2019

Green Gas Certification - Background

• Biomethane = a renewable energy source‒ a green gas, identical properties to fossil gas (methane)

‒ Produced from biodegradable organic materials (e.g. organic waste, sludge, silage/grass, slurry, etc.)

‒ A clean, renewable & carbon-neutral fuel

• Biomethane Certificates‒ Each certificate represents a guarantee that 1 MWh of biomethane has been injected into the GNI grid.

‒ Certificate issued to the producer of biomethane, who can transfer ownership to an end-consumer of gas.

Valued by end-consumers = using a carbon-neutral fuel & EU-ETS

• National Targets - facilitate overall national reporting of GHG emissions reductions

• National Schemes – facilitate interface for both BOS for transport & SSRH for biomethane in heat

19

RED II, Art.19: Elements of a Guarantee of Origin (‘GO’)

M.S. must issue a GO for each MWh of energy produced from all renewable sources

Proof of Origin

From which Green Gas production plant did this green gas originate from?

Name, Location, Type, Capacity

Proof of Amount

How much green gas was produced?

When was is produced/injected?

Proof of Quality

Sustainability Criteria: GHG Value

20

Green Gas Certification Scheme for Ireland

• System to issue certs for biomethane

produced & injected into grid.

• Processes to trace biomethane from

production to consumption

• Auditor to verify origin of biomethane

within the Registry

‒ inspect production plant, feedstocks and

processes,

‒ verify quantity & quality

• Comply with RED II sustainability criteria

& classifications

23

Green Gas Registry Operator – ‘Back Office’

• GNI in process of implementing the Green Gas registry for Ireland

Provide for different account types = GG Producer, Trader, Auditor…

Receive & validate metered quantities of bio-methane = SCADA feed to the Registry

Issue, split, transfer & cancel certs

Different sustainability criteria applies to use in heat, transport & electricity sectors – certs to record eligible sectors for trading

Certs must be issued within 12m of production = System to be implemented early 2020 to register first production and injection of biomethane in Ireland

• EU examples – biomethane being produced & certified in many EU countries by TSO’s

‒ E.g. Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Spain.

• SEMO - currently issuing certificates for renewable electricity produced in Ireland.

24

Certification Entity – ‘Front Office’

• Develop standard practices/procedures to be followed for auditing service

All biomethane produced in Ireland must comply with RED II & meet sustainability criteria.

• Implement a GHG Calculation Tool. Ensure auditors are suitably trained and qualified.

• Flexibility to adapt to any other requirements or compliance obligations, e.g. incentive or

subsidy schemes.

• Primary Authority – DAFM oversight required at all AD’s in Ireland.

• Biofuels Obligation Scheme – Green Gas certification can deliver solution to meet

requirements of the BOS for gaseous transport fuels.25

Next Steps

• Develop detailed concept for an ‘interim’ solution

• Identify IT system to support Back Office functionality – Grexel

• Identify certification system & auditing process to verify GHG properties

‒ ISCC EU Scheme: ‘Voluntary’ scheme recognised by EU

• Stakeholder Engagements

‒ Workshops in 2019 to be arranged to update stakeholders & take feedback

8. Long Term No Access

GMARG Discussion

CONFIDENTIAL – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION

2. Objectives

Provide an overview of current Long Term No Access status and activity

Determine Shipping Community priorities with respect to Long Term No Access sites

Provide insight on our strawman proposals for managing Long Term No Access sites

Maintain full transparency and agree a joint approach for managing Long Term No Access sites

30

What is a Long Term No Access (LTNA) site?

A site where an NDM meter read at a credit meter has not been

obtained by the Transporter, or supplied by an End User, after 3

consecutive scheduled attempts or within a period of twelve months.

2019

Current number of sites considered as LTNA as

How do GNI propose to manage LTNA sites?

Develop a process for the day-to-day management of LTNA sites

that focusses on End User communication, encouraging End Users

to dial-a-read or to upload a read onto our website.

Why are LTNA sites a concern?

AQ cannot be accurately calculated for a site without an actual meter

read. The longer the duration without a meter read, the higher the

risk of generating an inaccurate bill, either over or under-estimated.

Draft LTNA process and items for discussion

3. Manage Long Term No Access MetersStrawman process for discussion – Obligations

32

• Before developing a strawman process to manage LTNA sites, we revisited the Meter Data Services

Procedure (MDS) to confirm the Transporter obligations with respect to managing LTNA sites:

MDS Procedure(Version 3.0, Approved 2nd December 2008)

Transporter Shipper

1.3.1

The Transporter shall endeavour to carry

out two additional reads during the summer

period at LTNA meters; these meters may

be visited outside normal working hours.

Meter Reading department co-ordinate two out of

cycle reads for credit meters where a read has not

been obtained after 3 scheduled attempts.

Meter Reading department developed an automatic

text notification issued to End Users once their site

falls into the LTNA category.

3.5.2

• This bi-annual report lists any relevant

meters that have fallen into the category of

Long Term No Access.

• The Registered Shipper will have the

responsibility to direct any necessary action

in accordance with MPD16 – Creation and

Completion of Operational Site Works

Request for NDM sites.

• The Transporter will endeavour to visit

these sites an additional two times during

the summer months in accordance with

section 1.3.

GNI have the capability to generate a bi-annual

report listing LTNA meters per Shipper and circulate

via email.

For discussion:

Is there an appetite for a bi-annual report?

What action do Shippers propose to take upon

receipt of this report?

GNI have generated Shipper Reports and can

provide to Shippers after this presentation.

3. Manage Long Term No Access MetersStrawman process for discussion – Items for Discussion

34

# Item for discussion Shipper input required

A

LTNA Shipper Report:

Transporter to issue a bi-annual report listing LTNA sites to the Registered

Shipper.

GNI also propose to issue a monthly report listing ‘new’ LTNA sites.

• Is there an appetite for a monthly report?

• What action do Shippers propose to take upon receipt of a bi-annual and

monthly report?

• What are the Shipping Community priorities and concerns with respect

to LTNA sites?

B

End User Communication:

GNI require updated End User contact information (house address; mobile

/ house phone number; email) to enable effective End User

communication.

• How do Shippers currently communicate updated End User contact

information to GNI?

• How can both GNI and Shipping Community streamline this End User

contact information data transfer?

C

End User Estimation Increase:

GNI propose to pilot an increased estimation of an End User meter read by

25% of AQ, in the event a meter read is not provided after a set of out-of-

cycle site visits. The Meter Reading department will complete this

overestimation manually.

• Do Shippers support the proposal for an End User increased bill?

• How do Shippers propose to communicate an End User increased bill -

formal letter, bill insert etc.?

• What is the Shipping Community stance on CRU applied End User bill

discounts in the vent an End User makes a complaint? Do these

discounts incentivise an End User to not provide a meter read?

D

Escalation Options:

GNI propose to pilot an escalation to the Registered Shipper if no meter

read is received after completing 3 sets of 'out-of-cycle' meter reads.

Potential escalation options include:

• Continue cycling through bill overestimation

• Raise request to isolate the service if access cannot be gained to obtain

a meter read.

• Can Shipping Community advise on appropriate escalation action?

Next Steps

35

• Proposal to co-ordinate a Metering Process Workshop

‒ to review processes in detail and agree Ways of Working.

‒ Potential areas for discussion:

Long term No Access Meters

Non-Registering (zero consumption recorded) Meters

DECISION POINT:

Question: Meter Read obtained? (Provided or Appointment Scheduled)

Yes: Reconcile to actual read - end.

No: Progress to process activity 9 for 2 more cycles - the End User bill is overestimated a further

2 times. If a meter read is still not acquired, progress to process activity 21.

Transporter / Registered

Shipper

Escalation to be determined - See below options.

• Continue cycling through bill overestimation

• Raise request to isolate service if access cannot be gained to obtain a meter read.

• Shipper input.

GNI Service Isolation Overview

Issue Detail

Cost range of a

cut-off

Average service cut-off per site (base): €700

Average cost of reconnection per site (base): €900

Total cost per site (base): €1,600*

*Total cost can increase by 30 – 80% for Out of Hours service isolations (depending on road type).

Additional Considerations:

Traffic Management Plan required to proceed.

Road Opening License required to proceed.

Local Authority input required to proceed e.g. Wicklow Area does not allow service isolations

for credit purposes.

GNI must contact Supplier for a Meter Fit WO to reconnect End User at a cost of €240.

Risks of a cut-off

Service isolation is too costly to be considered as an escalation option for an enduring process.

Significant reputational risk as GNI would be cutting-off (LTNA) End Users consistently paying

their bill – They simply haven’t provided GNI with an actual read.

10. Revenue Protection Working Group Outcome

Overview of Revenue Protection Working Group

42

• The Revenue Protection Working Group Titled “Arrangements to Support Code of Practice” has concluded with the 6th

and final meeting held on March 22nd 2019.

• Working Group output:

• Code of Practice signed off by CRU/Implemented by stakeholders

• Development of 3 Revenue Protection Market Process Definitions

• Introduction of new RP Market Message (G2401N)

• Reporting Arrangements discussed and next steps agreed

• RP Undercharge implementation

• RP Debt Flagging consultation

• Recommendations and next steps identified, primarily focused around reporting arrangements and market message

trial (G2401N) as well as embedding the market processes and code of practice.

Revenue Protection Market Process Definitions

• MPD 24: Identification of Unauthorised Interference‒ Identification of suspect gas point by GNI or supplier;

‒ On-site inspection of meter to investigate suspect interference;

‒ Off-site meter testing to confirm interference

• MPD 25: Recovery Siteworks Costs‒ Process of recovering siteworks costs

‒ Outlines correspondence paths with customer

‒ Disconnection/reconnection process

• MPD 26: Recovery of Energy Costs‒ Calculation of RP undercharge by GNI

‒ Communication of the RP undercharge to suppliers

‒ Application of the RP undercharge

All have been approved by the CRU and are implemented within the industry.

Market Message Trial

• New revenue protection market message is set out in MPD 25 – Identification of unauthorised interference.

• Released as part of the schema change earlier this year.

• G2401N Market Message was developed in order to give suppliers an update to the Revenue Protection process

from the point of confirmed tamper through to case closed via payment or cancellation.

• Agreement within the working group to pilot the implementation of the market message from May 1st 2019 –

November 1st 2019.

• Aim of pilot is to assess in November 2019 whether the G2401N market message or confirmed tamper reporting

monthly serves as a better measure of confirmed tamper progression.

• Once pilot is complete, Suppliers and GNI will meet to discuss success or preference to continue with monthly

reporting of confirmed tampers.

44

Annual Report for Industry

• Working group has proposed the development of a Revenue Protection annual report

• GNI will work with the CRU over the coming months on developing the content of this report with the intention to

deliver this by end of Q1 each year.

• Outline of Proposed Content:

‒ Industry summary of Revenue Protection activity

‒ Retail/Industry developments

‒ Data – Inspection no’s, confirmed tampering no’s, RP Undercharge Read information.

‒ Prosecutions – overview of the year

‒ Any information relating to safety campaigns run throughout the year/Media Coverage

‒ Stakeholder engagement summary

• Suppliers have agreed to look at providing a summary of cost recovery figures (RP undercharge) on an annual basis

• A separate annual detailed data report is proposed for Suppliers, building on the information supplied to industry but

including a more detailed breakdown of the data.

45

Working Group Final Report

• A final report based on the initial terms of reference & working group output has been drafted by GNI

and sent to the working group attendees for comment.

• Comments due by COB on April 22nd 2019.

• Once comments received and report finalised, it will be circulated to CRU for approval and to GMARG

for visibility.
