Improving customer experience for the Energy Contract Volume Aggregation Agent
The Energy Contract Volume Aggregation Agent (ECVAA) is one of the BSC agents that Elexon uses to deliver the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC). The ECVAA receives notifications of bilateral trades between Trading Parties. It then time-stamps and validates the trade before sending the data to Elexon’s Settlement Administration Agent (SAA). The SAA calculates payments for Parties and performs the daily Settlement Runs.
ECVAA is a critical, 24/7 service for customers that is vital for the continuous operation of Balancing and Settlement. The ECVAA must send an acknowledgement of any trades to Parties after it receives them.
