Publisher note: NIE Networks and Electricity Suppliers use the same keypad application system for keypad customers. All keypad customers detail i.e. the premise number and Supplier reference number allocated to customers are held within the customer records on this keypad application system. Keypad plastic cards are provided to keypad customers for a variety of scenarios; 1) A new keypad meter is fitted at a premise; When a keypad meter is installed by NIE Networks, plastic cards will be provided to the customer. The Electricity Supplier will already have been chosen prior to the keypad meter installation NIE Networks maintain a stock of keypad plastic card for 6 Electricity Supplier and these cards are printed with the relevant Suppliers reference number and a predetermined premise number. The NIE Networks Engineer will install the meter, select the relevant Electricity Suppliers plastic cards ( as previously determined) and place a phonecall to our keypad registration team. The Engineer will advise the call agent of the premise number printed on the card that is being provided to the customer. These details are then logged on the common keypad application system that NIE Networks and Electricity Suppliers use and a customer record is created that includes the premise number. From this point onwards, the premise number stays with this address, regardless if the customer leaves. The Electricity Supplier reference number however, can change at any time should the customer wish to switch to another Electricity Supplier. This scenario is covered in the next scenario “ A customer changes Electricity Supplier” 2) Change of customer at premise/lost cards If a customer moves out and a new customer moves into a premise, on occasions the new customer will request plastic cards as the previous occupant may not have left the keypad plastic cards or the cards have been lost. In this instance, customers will request new plastic cards from their Electricity Supplier. This request is processed though the keypad application system used by both Electricity Suppliers and NIE Networks A report is generated once per week by NIE Networks from this keypad application system and this collates these requests made by Electricity Suppliers and gathers the details required for the new plastic cards to be created (These cards must contain the Electricity Suppliers reference number and the customers premise number). These requests are provided on a weekly basis to a third party to fulfil and post to the customer. 3) A customer changes their Electricity Supplier When a customer decides to change to an alternative Electricity Supplier, during the registration process with their new Supplier, the customers details are entered into the keypad application system and the Electricity Supplier requests new keypad plastic cards to be issued to their new customer. A report is generated once per week from this keypad application system and this collates the details required for the new cards. (These new cards must contain the customers new Electricity Suppliers reference number and the customers remise number). These requests are provided on a weekly basis to a third party to fulfil and posted to the customer. For the keypad plastic cards scenarios refenced above, keypad plastic cards are branded separately for each Electricity Supplier. Customers receive two branded keypad plastic cards affixed to a carrier letter (with words chosen by each Electricity Supplier) and this letter carrier with affixed plastic cards is contained within an Electricity Supplier branded envelope. A third party posts these letters to the customers based on the names and addresses provided by NIE Networks on a weekly basis.
