Distribution Connection and Use of System Agreement
The Distribution Connection and Use of System Agreement (DCUSA) was established in October 2006 as a multi-party contract between the licensed electricity distributors, suppliers and generators of Great Britain. It is concerned with the use of the electricity distribution systems to transport electricity to or from connections to them. The DCUSA replaced numerous bi-lateral contracts, giving a common and consistent approach to the relationships between these parties in the electricity industry.

Meter Operators Code Of Practice Agreement
The Meter Operation Code of Practice Agreement (MOCOPA) is an Agreement between electricity distribution businesses and electricity meter operators in Great Britain. The Agreement authorises meter operators to install and connect meters to the electricity network by clarifying that the equipment being provided, installed and maintained meets appropriate technical requirements and that work is carried out to adequate safety standards. MOCOPA clarifies duties and obligations and sets out guidelines, compliance with which will give confidence to all parties in the electricity supply market that meters will not introduce barriers to customers switching suppliers nor introduce barriers to entry to participants in these markets.

National Terms of Connection
The electricity you receive from your electricity supplier will be delivered using the distribution system owned or operated by your electricity network operator. Your electricity supplier has been appointed as the agent of your electricity network operator to obtain a connection agreement with you on the national terms of connection. This means that, when you enter into your electricity supply contract with your supplier, you are also entering into a connection agreement with your electricity network operator on these terms.
