P442 ‘Reporting chargeable volumes for exempt and licensed supply’

UC Energy Ltd raised P442 on 7 July 2022. The Initial Written Assessment will be presented to the BSC Panel on 14 July 2022, where they will determine the P442 progression route and timetable. The Proposer is requesting that the Modification be sent to the Assessment Phase for evaluation by a Workgroup. 

There is currently no process that allows for correct allocation of appropriate chargeable volumes for Supplier Volume Allocation (SVA) Metering Systems where a portion should be exempt, and another portion should be licensable. Issue 96 was raised to develop an enduring solution to this problem, and the Workgroup recommended that this Modification should be raised. 

The proposed solution is for a new third party role, the “Exempt Supply Calculation Agent” (ESCA), to be defined. The ESCA would calculate the volumes of licensed and exempt supply, and submit them to central BSC Systems, based on metered data provided by the HHDC or Supplier. The ESCA would be required to undergo a qualification process to ensure compliance with settlement requirements.
