CP1286 – BSCP18 Operational Review: Additional flag in Transmission Company’s BOAL file to indicate an amended Bid-Offer Acceptance
Formal title: BSCP18 Operational Review: Additional flag in Transmission Company’s BOAL file to indicate an amended Bid-Offer Acceptance
Current Status
Summary
Elexon raised CP1286 to introduce a process to automate Bid-Offer Acceptance Level (BOAL) data corrections. Currently the BSC Systems will reject any automatically sent BOAL data corrections. Therefore BOAL data corrections are entered manually. This is time consuming and introduces the risk of human error. A new field, the ‘Amended Acceptance Flag’, which identifies a BOAL data correction, would be added to the BOAL file. The BSC Systems would be amended so that they automatically accepted a BOAL data correction if the Amended Acceptance Flag was set to ‘True’. The change would: increase the efficiency of the process for Elexon and the BSC Agent; and increase the transparency of the process to BSC Parties as data would be available on the BMRS (including TIBCO) earlier than it appears in the SAA Settlement Reports.
Progression
