List of Change Consultations
P457 Report Phase ConsultationRead More
BSC Section H ‘General’ sets out dispute resolution procedures that allows Market Participants to undertake arbitration pursuant to the arbitration rules of the Electricity Arbitration Association if required. However, the EAA has not been used by a Market Participant since its inception in 1993 and does not provide good value for money for BSC Parties as monthly payments are required, irrespective of whether there are any disputes to consider.
P458 Report Phase ConsultationRead More
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.

Issue 101: Consultation on the framework for the enduring DIP governance, funding and operationRead More
This consultation invites potential Data Integration Platform (DIP) users and other interested parties to provide their views on the proposed framework for the enduring governance, funding and operation of the Data Integration Platform (DIP).
P443 Report Phase ConsultationRead More
This Modification seeks to limit the exposure of all GB parties, including consumers, to extreme prices because of tight margins across the European energy markets. The proposed solution is to cap the price that enters the BSC Imbalance Price calculation at the Value of Lost Load (VoLL – currently £6,000/MWh), for Interconnector actions only. VoLL under the BSC represents the value to customers of unsupplied energy. National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO) would still be able to take Interconnector actions it deems necessary, but these would be capped in the Imbalance Price calculation where the relevant actions exceed VoLL.
P453 Report Phase ConsultationRead More
This Modification seeks to progress two recommendations from Issue 93 ‘Review of the BSC metering Codes of Practice’.
