Performance Assurance Board (PAB)

The PAB conducts and administers activities to provide assurance that all participants in the BSC arrangements are suitably qualified and the relevant standards maintained.

The PAB is appointed by, and reports to the BSC Panel. The PAB is responsible for the following performance assurance techniques: SVA Qualification, Technical Assurance, operational audit, Liquidated Damages and Peer Comparison. The PAB may also recommend a BSC Modification or Change Proposal to the BSC Panel relating to issues that arise from its functions as the Performance Assurance Board.

PAB Meetings are held in open session where the business discussed is non-confidential. Items relating to confidential or commercially sensitive issues will be held in closed session.

Attendees can observe the proceedings but cannot speak unless invited by the chairman.

To see a list of PAB Members, meeting documentation and future meeting dates, select a link from the menu on the left. Papers from the open session of the meeting will be available on the ELEXON website. A headline report detailing the key decisions of the PAB is published in respect of each meeting.

Applications to become a PAB member are welcome from any BSC Party. For more information, see the Volunteering for Membership page and the PDF IconPAB Terms of Reference(76Kb) .
