Consultations for all Process, Operational and Credit areas
This page lists all Consultations relating to BSC and code processes, Market Entry and Compliance, and Operations and Settlement. The consultations allow ELEXON to gather feedback from the industry about proposed changes so that any concerns are considered as part of our processes.
This list does not include Change Consultations.
P332 ‘Revisions to the Supplier Hub Principle’
This Modification seeks to address issues associated with customer preferred Supplier Agents. The proposed solution is a side letter between Elexon and Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA) Data Collectors (DCs) which will enable a Supplier who does not have a direct contract with the DC to enforce, as a last resort, the side letter as a proxy contract, to ensure that BSC obligations are met. The proposed solution will now apply to SVA DCs only as SVA Meter Operator governance will move from the BSC to the Retail Energy Code (REC) from 1 September 2021 as part of Retail Code Consolidation (RCC).
P422 ‘Reflecting NCER Rules in the BSC’
This Modification will update the BSC to ensure it accurately reflects the BSC provisions constituting the network code on electricity emergency and restoration (NCER) Rules in the mapping for the European Electricity Balancing Guideline (EBGL) Article 18 Terms and Conditions. Both the EBGL and the NCER were incorporated into UK law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 following the UK-EU transition period.
CCDG Consultation on Transition Approach For MHHS
This consultation sets out the CCDG’s recommendations for the key stages of the Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) Transition, covering essential pre-migration and migration activities, and is seeking industry views on the substance of those recommendations.
Credit Assessment Price Consultation 5 July 2021
We have issued a consultation paper on the value of the Credit Assessment Price (CAP). We invite Parties to indicate whether they agree with the proposal to increase the CAP to £96/MWh from the current value of £77/MWh.
Consultation for Removal of Grid Supply Point GSP FERRB1 from the North Eastern GSP Group (_F)
This page gives details of the consultation to remove a Grid Supply Point (GSP) and how you can respond.
P420 Authority Led SCR Modification Consultation
We have issued P420 ‘Retail Code Consolidation Significant Code Review’ for Industry Consultation, which you are invited to respond to by 17 June 2021.
P420 seeks to ensure the BSC aligns with Ofgem’s Retail Code Consolidation Significant Code Review, which consolidates a number of existing codes into the REC. The proposed changes have a direct impact on the BSC in terms of the transfer of the SVA Metering arrangements from the BSC to the REC and cross-code change procedures, as well as consequential changes reflecting the close down of the MRA.
P420 makes the necessary changes to reflect the code governance changes implemented through the Retail Code Consolidation SCR. Specifically, it will:
- Ensure the BSC reflects the close down of the MRA.
- Transfer operational procedures relating to Metering Point Lifecycle from the MRA to the BSC.
- Make the necessary changes to transfer SVA Metering arrangements to the REC, and facilitate a transition period for metering assurance.
- Insert the required drafting to give effect to the CCSG, which will be established under the REC to better facilitate cross-code change
Credit Assessment Price consultation 17 May 2021
We have issued a consultation paper on the value of Credit Assessment Price (CAP). We invite Parties to indicate whether they agree with the proposal to increase the value of CAP to £77/MWh from last notified value of £70/MWh.
As the trigger level is set at 10% of the CAP value, rounded to the nearest whole pound, this would change to
+/-£8/MWh.
Credit Assessment Price consultation 04 May 2021
We have issued a consultation paper on the value of Credit Assessment Price (CAP). We invite Parties to indicate whether they agree with the proposal to increase the value of CAP to £68/MWh from last notified value of £60/MWh.
As the trigger level is set at 10% of the CAP value, rounded to the nearest whole pound, this would change to
+/-£7/MWh.
Credit Assessment Price consultation 12 April 2021
A trigger event has occurred, meaning that the absolute difference between the CAP and the reference price is greater than the current trigger level of +/- £5/MWh.
As a result, a consultation on a new CAP value has commenced. The consultation period will end at 17:00 on Tuesday 20 April 2021.
Risk Operating Plan 2021/22 consultation
We invite you to respond to the consultation, which sets out how Elexon, as the Performance Assurance Administrator (PAA), will seek to mitigate Settlement Risks within the Electricity Market in 2021/22.
