Change
P395 Assessment Procedure Consultation
Amending the BM Unit Gross Demand Report to the EMRS to include electricity ‘supplied’ to premises by Suppliers, correctly excluding electricity imported by Generators or Battery Storage facilities operated by a licensee for generation activities, for use in calculating FCL in accordance with BEIS regulations.
P436 Report Phase Consultation
Ofgem’s Switching Significant Code Review (SCR) will introduce the new Central Switching Service (CSS) and version 3.0 of the Retail Energy Code (REC 3.0). P436 progresses the consequential BSC changes needed to align with REC 3.0.
P435 Report Phase Consultation
This Modification seeks to enable EMRS to undertake the necessary preparatory work for potential future settlement services to LCCC.
P419 Report Phase Consultation
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.
P421 Revised Implementation Date Consultation
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).
P431 Report Phase Consultation
As a result of the UK leaving the EU, Great Britain (GB) is no longer part of the Internal Energy Market and updates are required to the BSC to ensure that the legal text appropriately reflects these changes.
P433 Report Phase Consultation
This is the Report Phase Consultation for P433 ‘Updating the P375 legal text to align with the post-P420 BSC Baseline’.
- P433: Updating the P375 legal text to align with the post-P420 BSC Baseline
P433 would amend a small amount of the legal text approved under P375 without changing its intent to resolve the conflicts with the post-P420 BSC Baseline and allow the effective implementation of P375 on 30 June 2022.
Issue 93 consultation: cease using Codes of Practice 6 to 9
As part of Issue 93 we are aiming to consolidate the Codes of Practice (CoPs) into one document. The Issue Group believes this will remove any inconsistencies between the CoPs and provide an easier experience for participants using and interpreting the CoPs.
P428 Report Phase Consultation
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.
P429 Report Phase Consultation
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.
