Registration Statuses

Registration records the relationship between a [RMP] and an Energy Supplier. The CSS provider changes the Registration Status as a result of a Registration Request. A Registration will have one of the following Registration Statuses:

• Pending – indicates a Switch Request or Initial Registration Request has been Submitted and Validated, but that the Registration has not yet become Cancelled, Confirmed or Secured Active.
• Confirmed – this only applies to a Registration proposed in a Switch Request, and indicates that the request has been Validated and the Losing Supplier has not raised a valid Objection (or the Objection Window has ended without a valid Objection being raised). 
• Cancelled – indicates that the proposed Registration was cancelled before it became Secured Active, including where it was objected to, withdrawn or annulled.
• Secured Active – indicates that the deadline by which the proposed Registration can be Cancelled has passed (the deadline being 17.00 hours on the day before the Supply Effective From Date).
• Active – indicates that the relationship between an RMP and an Energy Supplier is active, and that the Energy Supplier is the current Energy Supplier for that RMP
• Secured Inactive – indicates a Registration which would otherwise have a Registration Status of Active, but either: (a) 17.00 hours on the Supply Effective Through Date has passed; or (b) the status has been changed as the result of a Validated Registration Deactivation Request. 
• Inactive – indicates that the relationship between an RMP and an Energy Supplier has ended.
