P483 Enabling Asset Metering for Non-Half Hourly Boundary Metering Systems

The implementation of BSC Modification P375 ‘Settlement of Secondary BM Units using metering behind the site Boundary Point’ allows Asset Metering System Identifier (AMSID) Pairs to participate in Settlement by utilising metering situated behind the Boundary Point. However, it requires that the associated MSID Pair—the Boundary Point Metering System—must be settled Half-Hourly. This requirement prevents most domestic consumers from participating in flexibility services with smart devices, as the majority are not half-hourly settled, and consumers, along with their Virtual Lead Parties (VLPs), cannot mandate changes to the meter’s Measurement Class.

P476 Exemption from MHHS Requirements for SMS Supplier Qualification

P476 sought to allow the Performance Assurance Board to have the authority to exempt Suppliers from Smart Segment Qualification obligations.

P475 Allowing All Storage Sites to set and fix their own Production/Consumption Flags

The purpose of this Modification is to address the issue of storage BM Units flipping between Production (P) and Consumption (C) statuses.
