BSC Changes impacting a HH Data Collector
This page shows which Modifications and Change Proposals have been identified as impacting a Half Hourly Data Collector. 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
P407 ‘Project MARI’
CP1534 ‘Introduce Change of Supplier (CoS) – No Meter Process’
CP1536 ‘Use of DTC data flow D0379 for submission of unmetered Half Hourly data’
P379 ‘Multiple Suppliers through Meter Splitting’
CP1542 ‘Transfer the obligation to visit de-energised sites annually from Data Collector to Supplier’
CP1543 ‘Use of DTC dataflow D0051 in the Half Hourly sector’
CP1537 ‘Extending the Timescales for agreeing Technical Assurance of Performance Assurance Parties (TAPAP) Findings Reports’
P423 ‘Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) Implementation and Governance Arrangements’
CP1541 ‘Use of D0004 in BSCP502’
CP1544 ‘BSCCo Approved EFR Representative sign-off required for any EFR plan following escalation’
CP1549 ‘Amendment of BSCP516 to clarify the criteria for Non-Domestic SVA Metering Systems’
CP1549 seeks to remove the text from BSCP516 ‘Allocation of Profile Classes and SSC’s for Non Half Hourly SVA Metering Systems Registered in SMRS’ that suggests a Change of Measurement Class from HH to NHH Profile Classes 3 or 4 is not possible so that it aligns with the correct interpretation of the rules set out in the BSC.
P429 ‘Switching off Participant-Reported PARMS Serials’
P429 will permanently cease the operation of, and remove the obligations associated with, participant-reported Performance Assurance Reporting and Monitoring System (PARMS) Serials and associated Supplier Charges.
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).
CP1562 ‘Amendments to the approved IDD changes for P375’
CP1562 seeks to update the New Electricity Trading Arrangement (NETA) Interface Definition Documents(IDD) Part 1 and 2 that were approved under P375, to provide clarity to the relevant Parties that make use of the document.
CP1532 ‘Reduce Half Hourly Change of Supplier timelines to meet the Initial Settlement Run’
P436 ‘Consequential BSC changes for Switching SCR (REC 3.0)’
Ofgem’s Switching Significant Code Review (SCR) will introduce the new Central Switching Service (CSS) and version 3.0 of the Retail Energy Code (REC 3.0). P436 progresses the consequential BSC changes needed to align with REC 3.0.
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.
CP1559 ‘Complex Sites Process Improvements’
This Change Proposal will deliver improvements to the Complex Sites process.
CP1565 ‘Updates to address Central Management System issues’
This CP seeks to update BSCP520 to contain clearly outlined processes for approval and fault reporting of Central Management Systems.
