BSC Changes impacting a License Exemptable Generators
This page shows which Modifications and Change Proposals have been identified as impacting a License Exemptable Generator. 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
P405: Allow notices via email where currently prohibited
P405 will allow notices that the BSC currently requires to be sent by post or fax to be sent by email.
P379 ‘Multiple Suppliers through Meter Splitting’
P413 ‘Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement Programme Manager’
P424 ‘Re-insert correct definition of Settlement Error’
P416 Introducing a route of appeal for the Annual Budget in line with the proposals for the Retail Energy Code
P416 seeks to amend the BSC to include an appeals mechanism that BSC Parties could use to challenge items in the Annual Budget.
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).
P438 ‘Amending the BSC to address sanction orders’
This Modification would allow Elexon to seamlessly give effect to sanctions orders.
P445 ‘Improving efficiency of Default Funding Share process and Energy Supply Company Administration’
This Modification seeks to allow the Funds Administration Agent (FAA) to process a Default Funding Share for unpaid Trading Charges earlier to reduce the cost of the borrowing facility and reduce the risk of shortfall. The Modification will also allow the Panel to instruct the FAA to release Trading Charges where the default relates to an Energy Supply Company Administration (ESCA).
P458 ‘Introducing Data Controller and Processor Obligations in the BSC for MHHS Testing’
The purpose of this Modification is to address the need for personal information sharing in the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC), specifically in the context of the Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) testing. The current BSC General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and data protection provisions were not designed to allow the sharing of personal information, which has now become necessary for the planned MHHS testing.
