Scott & Sargeant: From export renewal to confirmed go-live

How Open Power managed Scott & Sargeant's solar export renewal, coordinating metering, onboarding and the move to a live commercial arrangement.

Open Power Case Study

The Challenge

Scott & Sargeant operates a 78 kW solar PV system in West Sussex, with estimated annual electricity exports of around 28 MWh.

Its existing export contract was approaching expiry, and the next arrangement required additional metering documentation before onboarding could be completed. Open Power managed the renewal and coordinated the information needed to progress it. ____________________________________________________________________________________

What Open Power handled

Reviewed the next export arrangement: We assessed the available commercial option and progressed the selected arrangement through contracting.

Resolved missing metering documentation: When additional meter operator (MOP) information was required, Open Power contacted the metering provider directly, obtained the contract documentation and supplied it for onboarding.

Coordinated the full onboarding process: We managed the Letter of Authority, Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) documentation, registration and supporting site information.

Followed the process through to live status: We continued to track the arrangement after submission until confirmation was received that the site was active and no further action was required.

The value

One point of coordination for the renewal

Open Power liaised directly with the metering provider, obtained the outstanding documentation and followed up on onboarding progress, giving Scott & Sargeant one point of contact throughout the transition.

The outcome

The new export arrangement was successfully brought live, with the required metering and onboarding information in place.

The case demonstrates that a commercial export renewal is not just about agreeing a new rate. The real work is often in coordinating the technical, administrative and commercial requirements behind it.
