This page shows which Modifications and Change Proposals have been identified as impacting a Licensed Distribution Systems Operator. 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.
P472 Amendment to provisions for Parties to bring claims against BSC Agents in BSC Section E
P477 Data Protection Provisions for Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement
The purpose of this Modification is to address the need for personal information sharing in the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC), once the Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) arrangements are operational.
P441 Creation of Complex Site Classes
This Modification looks to progress a recommendation of the Issue 88 Workgroup to introduce Complex Site classes.
P434 Half Hourly Settlement for UMS Metering Systems
This Modification will require a period of mandatory Change of Measurement Class (CoMC) activity for all Non-Half Hourly (NHH) Unmetered Supplies (UMS) Metering Systems to complete before the Market Wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) migration to the Target Operating Model (Milestone 11 (M11) in the MHHS Timetable). At the time of writing, this would need to complete by October 2025. It will also require all new UMS connections to be settled Half Hourly (HH) from 12 months prior to M11, currently October 2024 (post CR055 decision).
P478 Implementation of MHHS Arrangements
This Modification proposes changes to the BSC to enable the Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) arrangements.
P455 On-Site Aggregation as a method to facilitate Third Party Access
This Modification seeks to establish a more cost effective and efficient method for delivering Third Party Access on private networks that include domestic and small business customers. It does so by enabling aggregated meter data from sub meters on private networks to be submitted into Settlement in lieu of data from Settlement meters installed at the Boundary Point.
P463 Introduce a Standard Change Process
To introduce a new change process – a ‘Standard Change’ process – into the BSC arrangements that would allow for certain, low risk, predictable and repeatable pre-authorised changes to be implemented without following the existing Change Proposal or Modification procedures.
P458 Introducing Data Controller and Processor Obligations in the BSC for MHHS Testing
The purpose of this Modification is to address the need for personal information sharing in the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC), specifically in the context of the Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS) testing. The current BSC General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and data protection provisions were not designed to allow the sharing of personal information, which has now become necessary for the planned MHHS testing.
CP1597 BSCP513 Text Change – Bulk Change of Agent
This CP proposes to remove references to Non Half Hourly Agent roles, and the reference of excluding SVA NHH MOA appointments from BSCP513 to align with Retail Energy Code.
P474 Governance, funding and operation of the DIP
This Modification proposes changes to the BSC to enable the ongoing governance, funding and operation of the Data Integration Platform (DIP).
