Summary

There are three areas of BSCP27 in which inconsistencies or minor errors have been identified. Elexon and the Technical Assurance Agent (TAA) do not actively pursue the rectification of ‘observation’ non-compliances, as these do no affect Settlement. It has been identified that the TAA’s and industry resources and effort are better served in other areas. In addition, it is not clear in the current drafting that BSCP27 section ‘Re-inspections’ does not apply to visits where only observations were recorded by the TAA. Participants clear paperwork non-compliances such as incorrect Meter Technical Details (MTDs) and missing certificates by the provision of the new or missing paperwork to the TAA. Thus there is no need to visit the site. BSCP27 does not state when the TAA should conduct Re-inspections. In practice, at the end of a quarter, the TAA identifies 10% of category 1 non-compliances where the participants has rectified the non-compliances during that quarter and then carries out the Re-inspections during the following quarter. BSCP27 uses the term ‘Complex Metering Systems’, which is not in line with BSCP502 and BSCP514, which uses the term ‘complex sites’.
