Consultations for all Process, Operational and Credit areas

This consultation is part of a Profiling and Settlement Review project to identify options for maintaining accurate Settlement for dynamically switched Meters during and after the smart metering roll-out.

National Grid is constructing a new Grid Supply Point in Liverpool, connected to the Electricity North West Limited Distribution System at Kirkby. This is to be known as GSP_KIBY_G to differentiate it from the existing GSP at Kirkby, GSP_KIRY_1 which is connected to the SP Manweb Plc Distribution System. The Transmission Company propose that GSP_KIBY_G is allocated to the North Western (_G) GSP Group.

Prior to the SVG making any revision of the Grid Supply Points to be comprised in a Group of GSPs, the Code requires the Panel to consult with the Authority, the Transmission Company, the Licensed Distribution System Operators comprised or to be comprised in relevant GSP Groups and all Suppliers.

You are invited to provide a response in respect of the questions on the attached pro-forma. Please send your responses, entitled “Kirkby GSP Registration Consultation”, to [email protected] by 17:00 on Thursday, 29 May 2014.

This consultation is part of the Profiling and Settlement Review. It is part of a project to identify future options for reducing Settlement timescales in light of the smart metering roll-out.

We are consulting on revised GSP Group Correction Scaling Weights based on a revised methodology and approach to the volume errors that have been estimated in the Non Half hourly and Half Hourly markets.

This consultation asks respondents to review the Risk Evaluation Methodology for 2015/16, and to submit any comments to [email protected]. Responses to this consultation will be presented to the Performance Assurance Board meeting on 24 April 2014.

As part of the implementation of Electricity Market Reform (EMR), responsibility for settlement with generators, suppliers and capacity providers will lie with the Contracts for Difference (CfD) Counterparty and the Capacity Market (CM) Settlement Body.

They will deliver this function through Elexon. Elexon is therefore procuring an IT provider to build, host and operate the appropriate IT settlement systems that will calculate and invoice CM and CfD payments. These systems will be required to exchange electronic data flows with a variety of market participants and data providers.

This consultation sought views on the interfaces that will be used for the exchange of electronic data flows to and from the EMR settlement systems and a variety of market participants and data providers.

This consultation seeks respondents’ views on decreasing the Credit Assessment Price (CAP) to £51/MWh.

CAP is used in the Credit Cover calculation and a change to the value of CAP can affect the amount of Credit Cover that a Party is required to lodge.

Responses to this consultation will be presented to the Credit Committee.
