List of all BSC Change Proposals

The CP1532 solution is required to be updated to reflect changes made to BSCP502 ‘Half Hourly Data Collection for SVA Metering Systems Registered in SMRS’ following the implementation of P420.

CP1556 looks to update the BSCP70 and Communication Requirements Document to include a test request process and a list of P-flows for VLPs and AMVLPs.

This CP proposes to update the requirements in BSCP502 to require HHDCs to send D0036 or D0275 for non-Data Communications Company (DCC) enrolled Metering Systems and/or D0380 for DCC enrolled Metering Systems to LDSOs.

CP1554 looks to future proof the  measurement transformer standards in Code of Practices 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10

This Change proposal looks to tighten the requirements for Meters and Current Transformers in the Code of Practice.

CP1552 seeks to provide clarity to market participants about the timeframes for various processes in BSCP520. 

CP1551 seeks to update BSCP601 so it aligns with new Government legislation for new Meters being placed on the GB market.

This Change Proposal looks to simplify the management of phase failures and update the requirements of voltage failure alarms.

CP1549 seeks to remove the text from BSCP516 that suggests a Change of Measurement Class from HH to NHH PCs 3 or 4 is not possible so that it aligns with the correct interpretation of the rules set out in the BSC.

This change proposal, CP1548, seeks to remove the specification of particular download formats in NETA IDD Part 1 Document paragraph 4.13 and be housed and maintained in the BMRS API and Data Push User Guide

CP1547 seeks to provide clarity for Embedded LDSOs that choose to calculate Site Specific Line Loss Factors rather than Mirroring, through updates to BSCP128. 

Strengthening the Qualification - Change of Ownership Process

The Assessment Report for CP1538 was presented to the  ISG on 2 February 2021, where it was approved for implementation in the April 2021 ad-hoc BSC release

CP1535 seeks to Add the North Sea Link (NSL) Interconnector to the BMRS. CP1535 will also enable the withdrawal of the CP1516 interim solution to incorporate data from IFA2 and ElecLink Interconnectors on the BMRS.

CP1533 intends to update clause 3.2.6.50 in BSCP504 to remove instances of the word “new” in order to make it clear that D0052s shall be sent in all instances.

Additionally provide the TUoS Report to National Grid ESO at the II Settlement Run

Earlier initiation of Supplier Agreed Meter Readings process

‘CoP4 clarification of BSC Party responsibility for Commissioning of measurement transformers that the BSC Party adopts’

CP1526 seeks to introduce formal Service Level Agreements that should be adhered to by Meter Operator Agents (MOAs) and Licensed Distribution System Operators (LDSOs) when rectifying Half Hourly Meter faults to ensure continued overall accountability of rectifying faults on Metering Equipment.

CP1525 seeks to define a new process that would place obligations on Licensed Distribution System Operators (LDSOs) to rectify Half Hourly Meter faults where the fault is with Metering Equipment owned by the LDSO.

CP1524 seeks to implement changes to the communication process used by parties involved in rectifying faults on Half Hourly Metering Equipment.
