P216 – Audit of LLF Production
Formal title: Audit of LLF Production
Current Status
Summary
P216 seeks to provide additional transparency and consistency regarding the calculation and application of Line Loss Factors (LLFs) used in Settlement by: •creating a set of high level principles, which all LLF methodologies (created by Distributors) must adhere to (these principles will sit in a BSCP); •requiring an audit of the methodologies used to calculate LLFs to ensure that they are consistent with the principles; •requiring an audit of the calculation of LLFs to ensure that they are consistent with the audited and approved methodology; •conducting spot checks to confirm that the correct LLFC has been applied at a Metering System level; and •not allowing changes to LLFs during the year (except in limited circumstances).
