List of all BSC Change Proposals
CP1574 Improving the use of the D0215 data flow in the relevant industry processes
This CP seeks to implement the recommendation from the Issue 99 Workgroup, which involves updating Balancing and Settlement Code Procedure (BSCP) 515 ‘Licensed Distribution’ and the Retail Energy Code (REC) Meter Operator Schedule 14 documents to streamline the use of the D0215 flow in its associated processes.
CP1573 Amendments to the IDD Pt 1 Spreadsheet, SVA DC and REC EMAR Data Specification for P376
This Change Proposal seeks to amend the IDD Part 1 Spreadsheet, SVA Data Catalogue Volume 2 and the Retail Energy Code’s’ EMAR Data Specification to ensure that the BSC Configurable Items accurately reflect the P376 solution.
CP1572 Specifying the requirements to provide SLDs for HV and EHV sites
Currently there is no requirement in the BSC to produce SLDs despite a number of BSC processes requiring one to be submitted. Without the requirement to produce SLDs being specified, some Parties have not felt incentivised to create them.
CP1571 Clarify the number of Meter measuring elements and measurement transformers
The Metering Codes of Practice (CoPs) specify the number of measuring elements required to be metered in relation to the number of primary system conductors. However, the requirements don’t appear to be sufficiently clear or are not being complied with.
CP1570 Housekeeping amendments to include reference to ‘Asset Metering Virtual Lead Party’
CP1570 is a Housekeeping change seeking to correct minor errors identified during the preparation for implementation of Approved Modification P375 ‘Settlement of Secondary Balancing Mechanism (BM) Units using metering behind the site Boundary Point’ as part of the June 2022 BSC Release.
CP1569 Amendments to the IDD documentation to align with SAA migration
This Change Proposal will seek to amend the IDD documentation to reflect SAA no longer having access to a shared database with CRA and CDCA plus will document the interface ‘BM Unit Period Metered Volume’.
CP1568 Inclusion of new LDSO-mastered SMRS data items
This Change Proposal will include new LDSO-mastered SMRS data items in the SVA Data Catalogue, the REC EMAR Data Specification and BSCP604.
CP1567 New BSC Procedure (BSCP) for Assurance Information Requests (AIRs)
The AIR is a Performance Assurance Technique (PAT) which was introduced in May 2022. Currently there is no related BSCP for an AIR, therefore when issuing an AIR, there is no written obligation on Parties to adhere to the request.
CP1566 Introducing the CVA Commissioning End to End Check (CEEC) process
CP1566 seeks to formalise the Central Volume Allocation (CVA) Commissioning End to End Check (CEEC) process in BSCP02, BSCP20, BSCP38, CoP4 and CDCA Service Description for new and existing CVA Metering Systems.
CP1565 Updates to address Central Management System issues
This CP seeks to update BSCP520 to contain clearly outlined processes for approval and fault reporting of Central Management Systems.
