Changes to the CAP Review Process: 12 August 2019Read More
We invite Trading Parties to indicate whether they agree with the proposal to set new CAP values based on the estimated reference price on the implementation date of the new CAP. We also invite Parties to indicate if they agree the trigger level (the value from which if the reference price deviates by, then a review of the CAP is triggered) should be automatically set. These proposed changes will allow for a more efficient process whilst maintaining the necessary levels of control.

P350: Methodology for Load Periods and Sample Settlement Periods Consultation 19 June 2019Read More
Modification P350 ‘Introduction of a seasonal Zonal Transmission Losses scheme’ introduced a Transmission Loss Factor (TLF) for each TLF Zone and BSC Season, so transmission losses can be allocated on a geographical basis. P350 went live on 1 April 2018.
This Consultation details the proposed methodology for setting Load Periods and Sample Settlement Periods to be used in the derivation of Zonal TLFs, as required by the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC).
Outcome
No responses were in disagreement with using the suggest methodology to calculate the Load Periods (LPs) and Sample Settlement Periods (SSPs). The methodology, and the new LPs and SSPs for BSC Year 2020/21, were presented to the Imbalance Settlement Group (ISG) in July 2019. These were approved by the ISG and were published on the TLF Determination page of the Elexon Portal.

DWG’s consultation on transitioning to Market-wide Half Hourly SettlementRead More
The DWG has developed its approach for transitioning from the current Settlement arrangements to the Target Operating Model (TOM) for Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement (MHHS).
