Consultation on the Market Index Definition Statement Review 2019
Status
Who will this impact?
The Market Index Definition Statement (MIDS) defines the use of Market Index Data to calculate the Market Index Price (MIP), a price reflective of wholesale electricity for a Settlement Period in the short term market. An annual review of this document is required by the BSC, to ensure that the MIP is providing a reasonable reflection of the price of wholesale electricity in the short term market.
Changes were made to the MIDS as part of BSC Modification P377 ‘Amending Gate Closure references in Market Index Data’, which was implemented on 18 April 2019.
Our yearly analysis suggests that there are no further changes to the MIDS required at this time, with the current Individual Liquidity Threshold (ILT), timeband weightings and product weightings remaining suitable.
