List of all BSC Modifications
P392 Amending BSC Change Process for EBGL Article 18
This Modification will ensure the process and responsibilities for amending BSC provisions constituting EBGL Article 18 terms and conditions reflect delegations made by NGESO in favor of the BSCCo and BSC Panel, to ensure a unified market change process.
P391 ‘Introducing Desktop Audits’
P390 ‘Allowing extensions to Elexon’s business and activities, subject to additional conditions’
P390 seeks to introduce a framework into the BSC that allows the Elexon Board to determine whether Elexon can undertake additional activities provided certain conditions are met, and with the consent of the Authority.
P389 Resolution of Capacity Market and Balancing Mechanism registration conflicts
P389 will delete BSC Section K paragraph 3.1.8(b) in order to remove conflict between the BSC and Capacity Market rules
P388 ‘Aligning the P344 and P354 Solutions’
P387 ‘Allowing email communications for the BSC Panel Elections process’
This Modification Proposal aims to amend the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) Panel Elections process to allow communications between parties via email. Other communication methods could be approved by the BSC Panel on a case-by-case basis.
P386 Corrections to P344 legal text
P385 ‘Improving the efficacy and efficiency of the Section H Default provisions’
P384: The publication of European Electricity Balancing Guideline (EB GL) balancing data by BMRS
P383 ‘Enhanced reporting of demand data to the NETSO to facilitate CUSC Modifications CMP280 and CMP281’
P382 – Amendments to the BSC in the event of no-deal Brexit
The Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) contains multiple references to European Union (EU) legislation and bodies. Additionally, it also contains text introduced as a result of implementing various EU legislation. Retaining these references and text following the United Kingdom’s (UK’s) withdrawal from the EU without a deal (‘no-deal Brexit’) would have meant that the BSC would have been technically inaccurate but would have remained operable because of the European Union Withdrawal Act 2018.
P381: Removal of Quarterly Reports
P381 proposes to remove Section C3.9.1 of the BSC in respect of ‘quarterly reports’.
P380 ‘Revision to Replacement Reserve Bid Data submission deadline requirements’
Modifying the P344 wording of BSC Section Q ‘Balancing Services Activities’ to ensure National Grid ESO’s continued compliance with the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) and the Replacement Reserve Implementation Framework (RRIF).
P379 ‘Multiple Suppliers through Meter Splitting’
P378 ‘Introduction of a CM Supplier Interim Charge’
P377: Amending Gate Closures in Market Index Data
P376 ‘Utilising a Baselining Methodology to set Physical Notifications’
P375 ‘Settlement of Secondary BM Units using metering behind the site Boundary Point’
P375 will allow Metering Equipment situated ‘behind’ the defined Boundary Point to be used for Settlement purposes in place of the Boundary Point Meter. Primarily, this will allow balancing-related services on-site from smaller assets to be separated from current imbalance-related activities, more accurately reflecting the balancing-energy volumes provided by the Balancing Service Provider (BSP).
