Change Consultations

This Modification seeks to enable EMRS to undertake the necessary preparatory work for potential future settlement services to LCCC.

This Modification seeks to enable BSC Systems to aggregate the Import data of all non-Final Demand sites for exclusion from Balancing Services and Use of System (BSUoS) charges.

At the Panel meeting on 9 December 2021, Ofgem noted that there was a risk that they will be unable to make a decision on P421 by 3 February 2021, which is required to meet the standard February 2022 Release. Were this to happen, P421 would ‘time-out’ and be closed.

To mitigate this risk the Panel requested a revised Implementation Date for P421 (in accordance with Section F2.11.18).

Under the current approved P376 solution, VLPs with BM Units that have not been registered as a ‘Baselined BM Unit’ would be required to specify the ‘Inactive’ status of a non-baselined BM Unit. It is Elexon’s view that this new requirement was not intended, is expected to increase both system development costs associated with P376 as well as on-going operational costs for VLPs. This current requirement is not necessary, adds no value and does not better facilitate any of the Applicable BSC Objectives. The Proposer of P376 agrees that allowing non-baselined BM Units would cause a problem and suggested disallowing this functionality.

This is the Report Phase Consultation for P429 ‘Switching off Participant-Reported PARMS Serials’.

P429 would 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.

This is the Assessment Procedure Consultation for P419 ‘Enhanced Reporting of Demand Data to the NETSO to facilitate BSUoS Reform’.

This Modification seeks to expand the systems and processes introduced by P383 ‘Enhanced reporting of demand data to the NETSO to facilitate CUSC Modifications CMP280 and CMP281’ to allow eligible facilities to declare exemption from BSUoS charges and provide NGESO with aggregated Non-Final Demand data.
