Change Consultations
This page lists all change consultations when we need to obtain feedback from the industry on potential Modifications, Change Proposals and Issues. We may also request views relating to exploratory discussions or joint consultations with external bodies.
We publish a monthly change proposal consultation notice when communicating consultations for Change Proposals to highlight change information and Impact Assessment responses.

Policy View: Setting up Electricity Flexibility Platforms
ELEXON is proposing that nationwide electricity ‘flexibility platforms’ are set up so that offers to provide ‘demand-side response’, or output from electricity storage facilities can be traded easily.
The buyers of storage output or demand-side response (DSR) services could include local electricity distribution network operators (DNOs) suppliers and businesses.
ELEXON’s response to the ENTSO-E Consultation ‘Risk Preparedness Regulation’
In our response to ENTSO-E’s consultation, we concentrated on a single aspect:
Whether the proposed wording for the templates would be sufficient to encourage TSOs and ENTSO-e to consider the impact that the operation of national rules for market suspension and of European rules for market de-coupling could have at both national and regional levels in each crisis scenario?
ELEXON’s response to Ofgem/BEIS consultation on Flexible Retail Markets
ELEXON’s response highlights our support for innovation and provides examples of innovation we have spoken to customers about. We requested that government and Ofgem are mindful of other industry change programmes, including the review of codes, when considering further changes to retail markets.
ELEXON’s response to Ofgem’s consultation on ESO RIIO-2 financial methodology and incentives
In our response to Ofgem’s consultation, we concentrated on the design of the ESO incentives with two key messages:
- that the incentives should encourage ESO to work jointly and collaboratively with ELEXON for maximum customer benefit.
- that the incentive reporting should allow us to compare our own code management performance with that of others, including ESO.
P375 P376 Request For Information
We are requesting data on balancing services provided by assets. We will use this data to conduct analysis into the suitability of some known baseline methodologies, used in other markets, to demonstrate that the solution can produce accurate figures that will not pose a risk to the integrity of Settlement.
Without this data, the P376 Workgroup will be unable to assess the suitability of baselines using GB specific data. It will be used by P375 to help demonstrate the independence of assets.
Data provided under this Request for Information will be anonymised to protect confidentiality.
ELEXON’s response to Ofgem/BEIS consultation on reforming energy industry codes
Ofgem and BEIS published their consultation on reforming the energy industry codes in July 2019, and we have published our response.
We continue to strongly support reform of the code arrangements, in particular the objective of consolidation and simplification.
Ofgem and BEIS want to deliver improvements to the codes and code governance arrangements by the mid-2020s and ELEXON will support them in doing so.
P391 Report Phase Consultation
This Modification proposes to amend the BSC to expand the scope of the TAM technique to allow for Desktop Audits to act as a supplement to existing on-site Inspection Visits.
By amending the BSC and BSC Systems (namely the TAAMT) to facilitate Desktop Audits, ELEXON can provide a flexible, pragmatic and cost-effective addition to onsite Inspection Visits. To facilitate the solution, Section L and BSCP27 will be amended to describe the high-level obligations and process detail for the undertaking of Desktop Audits respectively, while definitions of a Desktop Audit and On-Site Inspection will be introduced to Annex X-1.
Listen to our podcast to find out more about the Desktop Audit modification.
