Modifications, Change and Implementation
Section F of the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) (119Kb)
defines the requirements for
developing, assessing and implementing proposals to amend the BSC arrangements.
These requirements are broken down into two processes:
- Amendments to the BSC; and
- Amendments to the Code Subsidiary Documents (CSDs) and BSC Systems (including software
systems and associated documentation).
Modification Process
The procedure for amending the BSC is the Modifications Process. This is set out
in Section F and is managed by the BSC Panel and ELEXON.
In addition to the Modifications Process, changes to the BSC can be discussed, but
not implemented, using the Issues Process. This enables BSC Parties to suggest topics
for assessment without going through the formal Modification Proposal process. Issues
can be raised, assessed and closed at any time.
For information on submitting a Modification or an Issue, please visit our
Raise a Change page.
Change Process
The procedure for amending the CSDs and BSC Systems is the Change Process. Details
of this process are in BSCP40 (179Kb)
.
For information on submitting Changes please
visit our Raise a Change page.
Implementation
Once a Modification Proposal or Change Proposal is approved, it is implemented as
part of a series of planned releases. “BSC Systems Releases” occur three times a
year in February, June and November as described on the Implementation page.
Releases may include changes to CVA and SVA software, associated documentation and
processes.
For information on the implementation process, the Release Strategy and
release documentation, visit our Releases page.
