BSC Procedures (BSCPs)

This BSC Procedure defines the processes that the Non-Half Hourly Data Collector (NHHDC) shall use to carry out the collection and processing of Metered Data for Non-Half Hourly (NHH) SVA Metering Systems.

BSCP505 defines the processes that the Non Half Hourly Data Aggregator (NHHDA) shall use to carry out the processing of meter data for Non Half Hourly SVA Metering Systems. This procedure focuses on the interfaces between the NHHDA and other Agencies seen from the perspective of the NHHDA.

The purpose of this procedure is to ensure maintenance of an accurate, up-to-date set of Supplier Volume Allocation standing data. The standing data is used by the Supplier Volume Allocation Agent (SVAA) to ensure the correct working of its internal processing and, where appropriate, by the Central Registration Agent (CRA) for use in maintaining a list of BSC Agent details.

This Procedure defines those activities which enable the Supplier Volume Allocation Agent (SVAA) to fulfil its functions. The main functions of the SVAA are: Calculate the Daily Profiles; Volume Allocation Runs (VAR); Market Domain Data Management; Re-calculating AFYC and EAC values

The purpose of this BSCP is to ensure that all changes to Market Domain Data within the Supplier Volume Allocation arrangements are made in an auditable and controlled manner and where appropriate with due consultation with the affected parties. This BSCP covers the raising of a change (an MDD Change Request ‘MDD CR’), authorisation and notification of MDD items to all relevant Market Participants (MPs) including the SVAA.

This appendix relates to the MDD Entity Change Request Forms and is part of BSCP509 which deals with Changes to Market Domain Data.

BSCP509 ensures that all changes to Market Domain Data within the Supplier Volume Allocation arrangements are made in an auditable and controlled manner and where appropriate with due consultation with the affected parties. 

BSCP509 Appendix 2 relates to the MDD Change Request Entity Validation and is part of BSCP509 which deals with changes to Market Domain Data.

BSCP509 ensures that all changes to Market Domain Data within the Supplier Volume Allocation arrangements are made in an auditable and controlled manner and where appropriate with due consultation with the affected parties.

The electricity trading arrangements require the use of Profiles to derive half hourly demands of Active Energy for Metering System Identifiers being traded either as a Non Half Hourly Metering System or as a Non Half Hourly Unmetered Supply. A Profile represents a particular pattern of energy consumption over a given period. Profiles are required to represent the half-hourly pattern of average consumption for each of a number of distinct customer populations known as Profile Classes.

This BSCP defines the processes that Suppliers will use to initiate changes of Supplier Agent(s) in respect of multiple Non-Half Hourly Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA) Metering Systems where the number of Metering Systems involved exceeds a threshold established by the BSC Panel. It describes the method by which Suppliers will submit an application for such a change of agent(s) to BSCCo for consideration by the Panel and the process by which the Panel will make its determinations and communicate its decisions to the Supplier.

This BSCP is not intended for use in the event of a failing Supplier Agent and will not be used where there is a coincident change of Supplier and Supplier Agent.
