P321 – Publication of Trading Unit Delivery Mode
Formal title: Publication of Trading Unit Delivery Mode
Current Status
Summary
P321 proposes to publish information on the direction of delivery (delivering or offtaking) of Trading Units, particularly for each Grid Supply Point (GSP) Group, in each Settlement Period. This information can currently be obtained through Balancing Services Use of System (BSUoS) bills and Transmission Loss Multiplier (TLM) values. The Proposer is seeking this information to be explicitly provided to give customers better access to this information.
