  abstract

  The Smart Secure Electricity Systems (SSES) Programme is designed to create the technical and regulatory frameworks to enable the untapped flexibility from small scale devices, such as domestic electric vehicle charge points and heat pumps. It should contribute to electricity system decarbonisation in a way that protects consumers and the electricity system. This consultation builds on both the 2022 Delivering a smart and secure electricity system consultation and the 2023 government response to that consultation.

This does not prevent provision of a physical interface also. The digital interface must be able to be easily accessed by the end user, for example through mobile device, touchpad, or screen, and the manufacturer will be expected to take into account the accessibility needs and digital literacy level of various user demographics when determining the methods of access." and Quote: "Government has decided to require that smart heating appliances have consumer-led flexibility and TOUT operations enabled by default and that functions that can be performed outside of peak hours should be pre-set accordingly. Manufacturers must ensure that appliances incorporate pre-set default usage hours that are outside of peak hours, defined as 8am to 11am and 4pm to 10pm on weekdays." Quote: "Regulation 40, Regulation 40A, Regulation 44 and Regulation 44ZA, where applicable, must be met. In particular Regulation 40(2) states that: 'The person carrying out the work shall not later than five days after the work has been completed provide to the owner sufficient information about the building, the fixed building services and their maintenance requirements so that the building can be operated in such a manner as to use no more fuel and power than is reasonable in the circumstances.' This should be non-technical, easy to understand and in an accessible format, suitable for a variety of end users, including those that are vulnerable. The statutory guidance on demonstrating compliance with relevant regulations regarding commissioning and providing information to the owner, including the provision of operating and maintenance instruction, is set out in Sections 8 and 9 of Approved Document L, Volume 1 - Dwellings."]
