BSC Changes impacting a Supplier
This page shows which Modifications and Change Proposals have been identified as impacting a Supplier. Please note that the assessment of where impacts may affect certain roles within the electricity market may be amended during the course of the Change process.
P451 ‘Updating BSC Black Start provisions and compensation arrangements’
P451 seeks to facilitate the implementation of NGESO’s new approach to Black Start, termed System Restoration. In doing so, it proposes to update all BSC references to “Black Start” to “System Restoration”, and enable contracted Restoration Service Providers who are non-BSC parties to claim BSC Black Start compensation.

P445 ‘Improving efficiency of Default Funding Share process and Energy Supply Company Administration’
This Modification seeks to allow the Funds Administration Agent (FAA) to process a Default Funding Share for unpaid Trading Charges earlier to reduce the cost of the borrowing facility and reduce the risk of shortfall. The Modification will also allow the Panel to instruct the FAA to release Trading Charges where the default relates to an Energy Supply Company Administration (ESCA).
P430: Allow Suppliers to use metering behind the site Boundary Point
P430 seeks to extend the solution to approved Modification P375 ‘Settlement of Secondary BM Units using metering behind the site Boundary Point’ to allow Suppliers to register Asset Meters and allocate Asset Metering System Identifier (AMSID) Pairs to Secondary Balancing Mechanism (BM) Units.
The Proposer believes this would address an unintended distortion in the market and enable the wider provision of Balancing Services to the system by enabling Suppliers to use metering equipment “behind” the defined Boundary Point for Settlement purposes.
The P375 solution will only allow Asset Metering Virtual Lead Parties (AMVLPs) to register Asset Metering Systems in order to obtain AMSID Pairs and to allocate those AMSID Pairs to Secondary Balancing Mechanism Units (SBMUs).
It is the Proposer’s view that the P375 solution is incomplete and should be extended to also apply to Suppliers to avoid a distortion in the market that gives one industry Party role an advantage over another, when both can provide Balancing Services from behind the Meter.
CP1542: Transfer de-energised site visits from Data Collector to Supplier
CP1542 proposes to transfer the obligation to visit de-energised sites annually from Data Collectors (DCs) to Suppliers for both the Non Half Hourly (NHH) and Half Hourly (HH) markets. This will require changes to procedures BSCP502 ‘Half Hourly Data Collection for SVA Metering Systems Registered in SMRS’ and BSCP504 ‘Non Half Hourly Data Collection for SVA Metering Systems Registered in SMRS’.
P419 ‘Enhanced Reporting of Demand Data to the NETSO to facilitate BSUoS Reform’
This Modification seeks to enable BSC Systems to aggregate the Import data of all non-Final Demand sites for exclusion from Balancing Services and Use of System (BSUoS) charges.
P417: Move credit templates and insurance products to the BSC Website
