This page shows which Modifications and Change Proposals have been identified as impacting a Virtual Lead Party. 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.
CP1602 Enabling AMMOAs to be appointed as MOA for both variants of Asset Metering Type 4
This Change Proposal will allow AMMOAs to be appointed as MOA for both variants of Asset Metering Type 4.
P472 Amendment to provisions for Parties to bring claims against BSC Agents in BSC Section E
P483 Enabling Asset Metering for Non-Half Hourly Boundary Metering Systems
The implementation of BSC Modification P375 ‘Settlement of Secondary BM Units using metering behind the site Boundary Point’ allows Asset Metering System Identifier (AMSID) Pairs to participate in Settlement by utilising metering situated behind the Boundary Point. However, it requires that the associated MSID Pair—the Boundary Point Metering System—must be settled Half-Hourly. This requirement prevents most domestic consumers from participating in flexibility services with smart devices, as the majority are not half-hourly settled, and consumers, along with their Virtual Lead Parties (VLPs), cannot mandate changes to the meter’s Measurement Class.
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.
