P191 – Revised definition of Balancing Mechanism Unit to include Power Park Module

Formal title: Revised definition of Balancing Mechanism Unit to include Power Park Module

Summary

It is proposed that the definition of a single BM Unit under Section K paragraph 3.1.4 (a) is amended to include a Power Park Module as follows: “K3.1.4 (a) any Generating Unit or CCGT Module or Power Park Module for whose Exports the Metering System(s) is or are registered in CMRS” In addition it is proposed to include a new definition of “Power Park Module” as follows: “Power Park Module” has the meaning given that term in the Grid Code”. This amendment and new definition will allow recent changes to the definition in the Grid Code to allow connection of wind farms to be reflected in the BSC.
