CP1521 ‘BSCP70 Amendments for IA and IEA’
This Change Proposal seeks to amend BSCP70 to remove the statement excluding Interconnector Administrator (IA) and Interconnector Error Administrator (IEA) roles from the requirement to undergo CVA Qualification Testing.
Formal title: BSCP70 Amendments for Interconnector Administrator and Interconnector Error Administrator
Current Status
Summary
This Change Proposal seeks to amend BSCP70 to remove the statement excluding Interconnector Administrator (IA) and Interconnector Error Administrator (IEA) roles from the requirement to undergo CVA Qualification Testing.
Under the BSC, IAs and IEAs require communication with BSC Central Systems. By requiring them to undergo CVA Qualification Testing the risk to accurate Settlement (whereby the IA or IEA does not submit, or submits inaccurate, BM Unit Metered Volume data) will be diminished, particularly as the number of Interconnectors going live continues to increase. BSCP70 should also be amended to include the data flows relevant to IEAs and IAs for CVA Qualification Testing.
