Industry Consultation
P420 was issued for Industry Consultation on 17 May 2021 with responses invited by Thursday 17 June 2021.
We received six responses to the Industry Consultation representing Distributors, a
Supplier and a Trade Body. The main objectives of the Consultation period was to provide
market participants an opportunity to comment on the EBGL objectives and whether the
proposed redlining met the intention of P420.
No respondents objected to the Panel’s recommendations that P420 does impact EBGL
Article 18 terms and conditions related to balancing held within the BSC, noting they were
not in a position to comment, or agreed with the initial assessment that the changes were
minor.

The P420 Draft Authority Led SCR Modification report was presented to the Panel at its meeting on 13 May 2021.
The Panel unanimously agreed with Ofgem’s opinion that P420 better facilitates Applicable BSC Objective (d). All other recommendations were agreed.
