P459 ‘Allowing different Supplier Agents to be appointed to Import and Export MSIDs’

This Modification would allow Suppliers to appoint different Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA), Meter Operator Agents (MOAs) and Data Collectors (DCs) for the Import and Export Metering System Identifiers (MSIDs) where Data Communications Company (DCC) adopted smart meters are installed. Being able to appoint different Supplier Agents across Import/Export MSIDs will remove a barrier preventing the use of Export MSIDs for small-scale micro-generation, which currently disbenefits Suppliers, sales and operators of micro-generation, and electricity consumers.

P458 ‘Introducing Data Controller and Processor Obligations in the BSC for MHHS Testing’

The purpose of this Modification is to address the need for personal information sharing in the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC), specifically in the context of the Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) testing. The current BSC General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and data protection provisions were not designed to allow the sharing of personal information, which has now become necessary for the planned MHHS testing.

P455 ‘On-Site Aggregation as a method to facilitate Third Party Access’

This Modification seeks to establish a more cost effective and efficient method for delivering Third Party Access on private networks that include domestic and small business customers. It does so by enabling aggregated meter data from sub meters on private networks to be submitted into Settlement in lieu of data from Settlement meters installed at the Boundary Point.

P454 ‘Removal of BSC obligations to provide BMRS Data via TIBCO and the High Grade Service’

This Modification would remove the existing requirement within BSC Section V ‘Reporting’ for the Balancing Mechanism Reporting Agent (BMRA) to provide BMR Service (BMRS) data via the legacy High Grade Service, otherwise referred to as the TIBCO service.

P454 is a recommendation from BSC Issue 95, which considered the impacts associated with maintaining the legacy TIBCO service.

P453 ‘Metering Dispensation process improvements and clarification to the CoPs’

This Modification seeks to progress two recommendations from Issue 93 ‘Review of the BSC metering Codes of Practice’. The first recommendation clarifies the relevant Code of Practice (CoP) for circuits embedded behind the Boundary Point Metering System or Defined Metering Point (DMP). The second recommendation eliminates the need for Metering Dispensations when the Actual Metering Point (AMP) does not coincide with the DMP, but there is no impact on Settlement accuracy.

P452 ‘Replacement of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme for non-domestic customers with the Energy Bill Discount Scheme’

This Modification seeks to enable Elexon as the Balancing and Settlement Code Company (BSCCo) to act as the payment provider for the Government’s Energy Bill Discount (EBD) Scheme for non-domestic electricity customers. This scheme will replace the existing Energy Bill Relief (EBR) Scheme.
