BSC Changes impacting a SVA NHH Meter Operator Agent
This page shows which Modifications and Change Proposals have been identified as impacting a SVA NHH Meter Operator Agent. 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.
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.
P420 ‘Retail Code Consolidation Significant Code Review’
P420 makes the necessary changes to reflect the close down of the Master Registration Agreement (MRA) and the transition of Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA) Metering arrangements from the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) to the Retail Energy Code (REC), as part of the Retail Code Consolidation Significant Code Review (SCR). 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.
