Each year, the BSC Panel and the
Performance Assurance
Board (PAB) deploy the Performance Assurance Framework (PAF) to manage Settlement Risks.
Performance Assurance Techniques are applied to Performance Assurance Parties
(PAPs) based on the Settlement Risks that they pose.
To do this, the BSC Panel and the PAB identify, evaluate and prioritise the risks
that may occur within Settlement and the extent to which they apply to each PAP.
The BSC Panel and the PAB produce a suite of documents in consultation with the
industry to aid this process including:
The timetable for this work is set out in the
Annual Performance Assurance Timetable (21Kb)
.
Performance Assurance Parties
A Performance Assurance Party is a Supplier, Meter Operator Agent, Data Collector,
Data Aggregator, Meter Administrator, Licensed Distribution System Operator and/
or a Registrant.

We have started the review of the Risk Operating Plan 2011/2012 in July 2010 and

The ROP sets out how the PAB will manage Settlement Risks by:
The
PAF Techniques Guiding Principles Document (161Kb)
details the key principles of the PAF techniques and how they are applied against
the ROP.
Risk Management Plans (RMPs)
Risk Management Plans (55Kb)
document the Settlement Risks and the Performance Assurance Techniques relevant
to each Performance Assurance Party (PAP). To help manage Settlement Risks within
your organisation, we can produce plans for combinations of PAPs which are owned
by a company group. These groupings of PAPs constitute Material Business Units (MBUs).
Please let us know how you want your RMPs to be structured by emailing
paa@elexon.co.uk. They are confidential and are only available to the party
to which the plan relates.

The
Annual Performance Assurance Report 2009/10 (504Kb)
:
- provides the results of the risk evaluation and risk assurance procedures, in particular
how well the techniques mitigated the Settlement Risks;
- sets out the costs of ELEXON implementing the techniques;
- recommends changes to existing techniques or recommends creating new techniques;
and
- explains the benefits of changing the Performance Assurance Techniques.
