Change Consultations
List of Change Consultations
P365 Report Phase Consultation
P365 seeks to amend the BSC such that the Elexon Board can determine whether to bid for the role of REC administrator (and perform the role if the contract is awarded to Elexon). This will be done via a separate not for profit subsidiary (RECASCo), funded by Elexon (through BSC Parties).
Elexon operates on a not for profit basis, therefore if the Elexon Board determines a bid should be submitted, the costs incurred will be borne by BSC Parties, with bid costs capped at the sum of £100k.
The proposed changes ensure that Elexon is ring-fenced from any enduring operational costs and risks associated with performing the role of REC administrator.
P354 – Report Phase Consultation
P354 seeks to allow the Transmission Company to provide Applicable Balancing Services Volume Data (ABSVD) for non-BM Balancing Services to BSC Central Systems for allocation to the appropriate Supplier BM Units to correct Suppliers’ Energy Imbalance positions.
P354 – Second Assessment Procedure Consultation
P354 seeks to allow the Transmission Company to provide Applicable Balancing Services Volume Data (ABSVD) for non-BM Balancing Services providers to BSC Central Systems for allocation to the appropriate Supplier BM Unit to correct their Energy Imbalance position. Since the first Assessment Procedure Consultation, the proposed solution has been amended as follows:
- The BSC Systems will aggregate MSID ABSVD to Supplier BM Unit level and use this to correct the Supplier’s Energy Imbalance position
- Removal of the opt-out provision under BSC Section Q6.4.5
- Amend BSC Section Q6.4.8 with the intention that Suppliers’ positions in all reasonable endeavours be corrected by SF but no later than R1
- All MSID ABSVD will be reported to the affected Supplier.
P344 Second Assessment Procedure Consultation
P344 seeks to align the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) with the European Balancing Project TERRE (Trans European Replacement Reserves Exchange) requirements. This is in order to allow the implementation of the project at national level and be compliant with the first tranche of obligations in the European Electricity Balancing Guideline (EB GL).
P354 Assessment Procedure Consultation
P354 seeks to allow the Transmission Company to provide Applicable Balancing Services Volume Data (ABSVD) for non-BM Balancing Services providers to BSC Central Systems for allocation to the appropriate Supplier account to correct their Energy Imbalance position.
P356 Assessment Procedure Consultation
P356 will align the BSC with Grid Code Modification GC0099, which seeks to introduce the interconnector scheduled transfer process to the Grid Code. This is in order to establish common, cross-code provisions which are compatible with both the EU single intraday market coupling processes, and GB and EU balancing processes
P358 Report Phase Consultation
P358 proposes to amend BSC Section K to allow Elexon to carry over BSC Seasonal GC/DC.
P357 Report Phase Consultation
P357 proposes to remove the Generation Capacity (GC) and Demand Capacity (DC) tolerance limit parameters from Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) Section K ‘Classification and Registration of Metering Systems and BM Units’. This will allow the tolerances to be reviewed and updated from time to time without the need for a Modification.
P332 Data Request
The P332 ‘Revisions to the Supplier Hub Principle’ Workgroup is requesting all Suppliers and Supplier Agents respond to this request for data to support its assessment.
P349 Report Phase Consultation
This is the Report Phase Consultation for P349 ‘Facilitating Embedded Generation Triad Avoidance Standstill’.
