Description
The Data Communications Company (DCC) is the central communications body licensed to provide the
communications, data transfer and management required to support smart metering. DCC was
appointed by using an outsourced service model, to manage contracted smart metering service
providers. As such, external costs compose the largest proportion of DCC's costs, and it is critical that
these contracts are entered into, managed and closed out effectively and efficiently. Each year, the
Authority scrutinises DCC's incurred and forecast costs through the annual Price Control process to
determine whether these costs are economic and efficient. Alongside the cost assessment, DCC also
faces financial incentives under the Operational Performance Regime (OPR)
