The clock change this weekend will result in a ‘short’ day which will impact Settlement periods and contract notifications. On a ‘short’ clock change day, there are only 46 Settlement Periods instead of the normal 48.

Elexon is investigating potential errors in Settlement related to the South Eastern GSP (Grid Supply Point) Group (Group _J) and the London GSP Group (Group _C). This follows our continued monitoring of the Annual Demand Ratio (ADR).

National Grid ESO has resubmitted Balancing Services Adjustment Actions (BSAA) and Balancing Services Adjustment Data (BSAD) files for multiple settlement dates throughout 2021. The period covers January through to November 2021 and is across 69 distinctly impacted Settlement Periods.

Elexon has been monitoring the on-going impacts of component shortages and supply chain challenges which are impacting on the availability of electricity Meters and related equipment. To help us understand the extent of these challenges, we have created a short survey to assess the impact on the industry.

We have been making changes to the layout and content on Newscast, which is our weekly newsletter that features key information about the industry and BSC activities.

To deliver on our commitment to providing enhanced, customisable data we are migrating the aging Balancing Mechanism Reporting Service platform (BMRS) to the Elexon Kinnect Insights Solution. Through easier access to data and data insights, the new Insights Solution will play a key role in supporting existing  companies, new entrants and innovators who want to develop new products and services.

Elexon is working on a project to develop a brand new website that will enable customers to have much easier access to the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) and its subsidiary documents, ‘the Digital Code’. We are working on ways to make the BSC and its subsidiary documents more accessible and navigable for our customers.

We are in the process of contacting Outstation manufacturers to confirm whether or not their Outstations currently comply with the new requirements. This is because the Issue numbers and versions of Codes of Practice 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 are changing and will be implemented on 30 June 2022 via the June 2022 BSC Release.

The Unmetered Supplies User Group (UMSUG) are requesting information from Suppliers to declare whether they will take on new Non Half Hourly (NHH) Unmetered Supplies (UMS).

UMSUG are interested in knowing if you are willing or unwilling to take on new Non Half Hourly Unmetered Supplies.

We are collecting views for the BSC Panel on whether the BSC change process should be reviewed, and what improvements could be made, including speeding up the process.

The Credit Assessment Load Factor (CALF) values for the Spring 2022 BSC Season, which runs from 1 March 2022 to 31 May 2022, are available from the Credit/Credit Alerting section under the Financial and Credit menu on the Elexon Portal.

If you are the Lead Party of a non-Credit Qualifying BMU, you can appeal an assigned CALF value if you believe it does not accurately represent your expected activity.

We are interested in gathering feedback on our Performance Assurance product from parties within the industry to help analyse and identify areas where we could improve.
