Communication of Data Estimations and Substitutions for Central Volume Allocation Metering Systems

BSCP03 ‘Data Estimation and Substitution for Central Volume Allocation’ describes the process for agreeing the appropriate metered data values associated with Active Energy meters to be used by CDCA for CVA when there is a problem with the values obtained via the normal metered data collection process.

The existing process, as defined in BSCP03, creates a degree of ambiguity surrounding the application of estimated and substituted data within Settlement. It is also felt that the requirement for the Registrant to authorise any estimates or substitutions prior to CDCA submitting them to Settlement is unnecessary and inefficient.
