IT Notices: Planned National Grid ESO Information Provision Outage

We have been notified by National Grid ESO that the planned outage on its servers between 11:00 and 13:00 (BST) on 16 June 2020 was postponed. The outage will now take place between 11:00 and 13:00 (BST) on 17 June 2020.
 
This will affect connectivity of the IP and Ancillary Services Dispatch Platform (ASDP) applications. IP publishes Balancing Services Adjustment Data (NETBSAD and DISBSAD) to the Balancing Mechanism Reporting Service (BMRS).

How will I be impacted?

During this downtime, NETBSAD and DISBSAD files will not be published on the BMRS website, APIs, Data Push Service and TIBCO. The indicative System Prices published on BMRS may not be accurate between these times. Once the outages are completed the files will be reprocessed.
 
Ancillary Services Dispatch Platform (ASDP) reporting service will be down; no ASDP dispatch will be carried out during the outage. The pending files will be reprocessed post outage as part of the catch up activities.
 
For ASDP System users, any dispatch instructions sent by National Grid ESO during the outage will be carried out by telephone. Please reprocess any failed transactions (if any) following the outage window.

Do I need to take any further action?

No, however any BSC Parties having questions for National Grid regarding this planned outage should phone 0800 917 7111 or 0800 085 4806. Overseas callers should use +44 870 521 6121 and quote “NETA EDT”.
