BSC Changes identified as having no impact
P420 ‘Retail Code Consolidation Significant Code Review’

It also inserts the required drafting to give effect to the new Cross Code Steering Group (CCSG) and cross-code modification arrangements, as part of the SCR.
P426 ‘Credit cover calculation simplified’
This Modification proposes to remove inefficiencies with the Credit Cover calculation by allowing related BSC Parties to combine their Energy Indebtedness prior to calculating the Credit Cover Percentage.
P402 ‘Reform of residual network charging’
P402 will introduce new reporting requirements on Licensed Distribution System Operators (LDSOs) and Elexon that will ensure the provision of data to enable the (National Electricity Transmission System Operator) NETSO to set Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS) demand residual tariffs and enable accurate billing of subsequent charges.
Following the conclusion of its Targeted Charging Review Significant Code Review , Ofgem directed National Grid and certain LDSOs to make changes to how residual revenues are recovered through Distribution Use of System (DUoS) and TNUoS demand charges.
