Consultation on BSC Services Manager service description
Before BSCCo may consider outsourcing some or all BSC services to a new BSC Agent, a new Service Description defining the services to be provided by the new BSC Agent must be produced and approved. It is intended this Service Description will capture all services currently provided by Elexon Ltd (BSCCo).
In anticipation of any outsourcing decision, and subject to Authority approval of Modification P284, the BSC Panel is seeking views as to whether the proposed Service Description appropriately captures all of the services that are currently provided by Elexon.
Consultation for Allocation of a New Grid Supply Point (GSP) to a GSP Group
Section K1.8 of the Code states that the Panel may consider revising the GSPs comprised in a Group of GSPs (including the establishment of a Group of GSPs):
- Where a new GSP Point is commissioned or an existing GSP Point is decommissioned; or
- Where the Panel consider it appropriate to do so.
As part of a 132kV Switchgear change at Walpole S/S, National Grid and the affected LDSOs are taking the opportunity to regularise the connection arrangement whereby supplies to two LDSO Networks are currently the subject of a difference metering scheme. (Metering Dispensation D:106). This involves the registration of a ‘new’ GSPs, and the eventual de-registration of existing Distribution System Connection Point II_WALPB1.
Appendix A shows the ‘before’ and ‘after’ scenarios.
The Transmission Company propose that GSP WALP_B is allocated to the East Midlands (_B) GSP Group.
