This page shows which Modifications and Change Proposals have been identified as having no impact on BSC Parties or Party Agents. 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.
P468 ‘Enabling Elexon to support the (currently in draft) Electricity Support Payments and Levy Regulations 2024’
CP1593 ‘New Interconnector Fuel Type Category: Greenlink’
Changes are needed to the Insights Solution to ensure data relating to the new Greenlink Interconnector is provided to market participants alongside existing data relating to Settlement arrangements in the Great Britain (GB) electricity market.
P467 ‘Enduring Solution in an event of a Gas Deficit Emergency (GDE)’
This is a follow on Modification from Issue 105 and provides an enduring solution in an event of a Gas Deficit Emergency (GDE).
CP1591 ‘New Site Visit Check Code Valid Set value’
The implementation of Distribution Connection and Use of System Agreement (DCUSA) Modification DCP411 ‘Charging De-energised sites’ involves updating the J0024 data set by adding a new Enumeration Value.
CP1592 ‘Upgrade of NHHDA and EAC/AA systems from Oracle 12c to version 19.21’
Upgrade NHHDA and EAC/AA systems to the latest available version of Oracle 19.21.
CP1586 ‘Defining the requirements for Minimum Burden and CT ratios’
In some cases, the Current Transformer (CT) ratios for the maximum current of the circuit is not appropriately selected, even though these ratios are vital for accurate energy settlement as they ensure safe and precise current conversion, maintain metering equipment within its optimal operating range, and uphold regulatory compliance standards. CP1586 originates from Issue 93 ‘Review of the BSC Metering Codes of Practice’.
P464: ‘Housekeeping and updating BSC references to “Consumer Scotland”, “Generation Curtailment Validation Committee” and “GCVC”’
This housekeeping Modification replaces references to “Citizens Advice Scotland” with “Consumer Scotland”. It also replaces any references to “Network Gas Supply Emergency Settlement Validation Committee” and “NGSESVC” to “Generation Curtailment Validation Committee” and “GCVC”. Additionally, it also corrects 5 non-material errors and inconsistencies across 5 Sections of the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC).
CP1584 ‘Allow non-BSC Parties to raise Change Proposals, add a CP withdrawal process and remove BCA/PACA concept’
BSC Issue 102 ‘BSC Change Process Review’ identified several improvements to align and simplify BSC Change processes on solution ownership and recommended Elexon make changes to several current processes described within BSC Procedure (BSCP) BSCP40 “Change Management”.
CP1582 ‘Update BSCP520 on Change of Measurement Class to ensure the UMSO send a D0388 with a zero charge code’
CP1582 was originally raised as a housekeeping Change Proposal (CP) to update BSCP520 ‘Unmetered Supplies Registered in SMRS’ step 3.6.2.3, as introduced erroneously by P434 ‘Half Hourly Settlement for UMS Metering Systems’], states “UMSO confirms the de-energisation date to Supplier, NHHDC and MA”’ as Non Half Hourly (NHH) Unmetered Supply (UMS) sites don’t have a Meter Administrator (MA).
Following an objection to the CP as housekeeping, and subsequent consultation period, CP1582 has been expanded to provide greater clarity and alignment with industry process for BSCP520 where a Change of Measurement Class (CoMC) event has occurred.
CP1578 ‘Enabling Embedded LDSOs to submit Site Specific LLFs’
This CP proposes updates to remove issues that may stop Embedded LDSOs from submitting Site Specific LLFs. These updates will define the process for submitting Site Specific LLFs, including establishing deadlines and requirements for the Embedded and Host LDSOs.
