Webinar on P375: Settlement of Secondary BM Units held on 7 December 2021

We ran a webinar on 7 December to help explain Modification P375: Settlement of Secondary BM Units using metering behind the site Boundary Point.

About the Modification

This Modification will be included in the June 2022 Release and affects anyone that is interested in using Asset Metering, including Virtual Lead Parties (VLPs), Half Hourly Data Collectors (HHDCs) and Meter Operator Agents (MOAs).

P375 supports net zero by allowing individual Asset Meters located ‘behind the boundary point’ to be used for Settlement purposes. It creates more opportunities for smaller asset owners to provide balancing services and demand-side flexibility. It will also help us to provide more openly accessible data on the performance of these assets, which could help innovators to develop new products and services.

Roles included in the webinar

The webinar covered the new roles and processes that will be introduced by the implementation of P375 on 30 June 2022.

The webinar was aimed at:

  • Anyone who wishes to become an Asset Metering Virtual Lead Party (AMVLP) to take advantage of these changes, which is a new role introduced by P375. It will not be necessary to be a VLP before you can begin the Qualification process to become an AMVLP
  • Half Hourly Data Collectors (HHDCs) and SVA Half Hourly Meter Operator Agents (HH MOAs), as P375 will introduce new activities for these Party Agents, which they will be able to perform without being required to undergo any further Qualification or Re-Qualification processes
  • Anyone that wishes to act as an Asset Metering HHDC (AMHHDC) or an Asset Metering MOA (AMMOA), which are new roles introduced by P375.

  • An explanation of how the new roles and processes work, and the high-level impacts on industry roles
