Today, the year-end quota sits in four lists that nobody has brought together.
Installation figures sit with metering point operations, mandatory cases in the meter inventory, appointments with the installation contractor and exceptions in a network controlling spreadsheet. To get the quota, someone has to bring these four data sets to the same cut-off date. Anyone who does that only at quarter-end only sees the shortfall once three months' worth of installations are already missing.
62,410mandatory casesAt the 30 September cut-off date, the meter inventory lists 62,410 metering points subject to mandatory installation.
3mandatory groupsEach group has its own quota stage with its own deadline and is calculated separately.
3,480missing installationsIn the group above 6,000 kWh, 3,480 installations are missing for the stage due on 31 December.
12 weeksbetween consolidationsUntil the four data sets are brought to one date again, every evidence figure is an estimate.
At the 30 September cut-off date, the quota for each mandatory group is available with the origin of every figure, the shortfall report comes from the same consolidation, and evidence effort falls by 45%.
The 45% reduction in evidence effort is this agent's headline figure. The mandatory cases, group sizes and the twelve weeks between consolidations reflect a typical process in metering point operations; they are not survey data.
