TAA Annual Report
The Technical Assurance Agent (TAA) Annual Report provides the TAA’s view on the health of the Half Hourly metering population in the SVA and CVA markets.
It is based on the findings from the inspections of Technical Assurance of Metering Systems and is used to highlight key market issues, particularly those with high potential materiality or risk to the quality of data used in Settlement.
TAPAP Reports
After some types of Technical Assurance (TA) checks, Elexon produces a non-confidential outcome report that is presented to the PAB. These are Technical Assurance of Performance Assurance Parties Reports.
AIR Reports
After some types of Assurance Information Requests (AIR), Elexon produces a non-confidential outcome report that is presented to the PAB. These are Assurance Information Request Reports.
Annual Demand Ratio reporting
The Annual Demand Ratio (ADR) is one of the key indicators provided by Elexon to outline potential over or under-accounting of energy generation or consumption. While the ADR cannot provide specific root causes for potential errors, when leveraged in conjunction with other tools it supports the identification and resolution of specific Settlement errors.
