This page shows which Modifications and Change Proposals have been identified as impacting a SVA Half Hourly Meter Operator. Please note that the assessment of where impacts may affect certain roles within the electricity market may be amended during the course of the Change process.
CP1369 – Increased Flexibility in BSCP550 Data Splitting Algorithms
P375 ‘Settlement of Secondary BM Units using metering behind the site Boundary Point’
P375 will allow Metering Equipment situated ‘behind’ the defined Boundary Point to be used for Settlement purposes in place of the Boundary Point Meter. Primarily, this will allow balancing-related services on-site from smaller assets to be separated from current imbalance-related activities, more accurately reflecting the balancing-energy volumes provided by the Balancing Service Provider (BSP).
P425 Single Supplier Shared SVA Meter Arrangements
This Modification aims to reduce the requirement from two or more Suppliers, to one or more Suppliers, to be involved in a Shared Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA) Metering Arrangement.
P456 Enable Elexon to procure ancillary Technology Services for use by BSC Agents
Removing barriers in BSC Section E that would prevent Elexon updating BSC Agent contracts, therefore enabling BSC Agents to use Technology Services procured by Elexon. This should reduce costs for BSC Parties.
P474 Governance, funding and operation of the DIP
This Modification proposes changes to the BSC to enable the ongoing governance, funding and operation of the Data Integration Platform (DIP).
P463 Introduce a Standard Change Process
To introduce a new change process – a ‘Standard Change’ process – into the BSC arrangements that would allow for certain, low risk, predictable and repeatable pre-authorised changes to be implemented without following the existing Change Proposal or Modification procedures.
P441 Creation of Complex Site Classes
This Modification looks to progress a recommendation of the Issue 88 Workgroup to introduce Complex Site classes.
P487 Incentive of BSC Supplier Parties to meet the M15 MHHS Milestone
Under the MHHS Programme there is currently an incentive for Suppliers to become qualified to participate in the new arrangements by Milestone 14. This Modification seeks to replicate that incentive for Milestone 15. This proposal aims to incentivise Suppliers to meet the MHHS Migration Plan by restricting their ability to register new Metering Systems if they fail to complete migration on time.
CP1605 Category 2 and Category B Non-Compliance Process Improvements in BSCP27
Elexon identified a gap in BSCP27 where Category 2 / B non-compliances remained open indefinitely without Party response. This change proposes updates to BSCP27 Sections 3.8 and 4 to introduce a ‘Not Rectified’ outcome and define associated monitoring processes. The change will formalise the handling of dormant non-compliances and improve alignment between the TAM audit and BSC Audit. Minimal updates to TAAMT are required, with central implementation costs estimated at £20–25k. No impact is expected on Settlement outcomes or Party Agents.
