Change to the timescale in BSCP20

Elexon is seeking a proposer for a potential Change Proposal (CP) regarding the timescales in BSCP20 for submitting Meter Technical Details (MTDs) for Meter Calibrations under Central Volume Allocation (CVA).

Summary of the Proposed Change:

  • Issue: Current BSCP20 timescales can be challenging to meet when on-site re-calibration of Settlement Meters is not feasible, leading to potential non-compliance and increased costs.
  • Proposed Solution: Relax the 20 Working Day (WD) timescale in BSCP20 Section 3.5.1 for Meter Calibrations, allowing more flexibility in cases where delays occur due to unforeseen circumstances.
  • Impacts: This change will primarily affect Meter Operator Agents (MOAs). It is a document-only change with no expected system changes.

If no proposer comes forward by 22 November 2024, Elexon will close this potential CP.

For any questions, please email the AMO, and we will share them with our consultant, David Brown.

REC Portal Improvements

From today, visitors to the REC Portal will see further enhancements to the User Experience/User Interface (UX/UI) in some areas of key functionality. This builds on improvements made to the navigation, landing page, and general design over the last weeks.

In the REC Change & Release area, users can now navigate through the different functions from a new tile menu which provides more detail about the purpose of each related page and the online Change Register has been significantly revamped to provide a cleaner display with much enhanced functionality around searching, sorting and filtering. You can now download the Excel version of the Change Register directly from this page too.

In Performance Assurance, for users with relevant responsibilities in this area, REC have improved the way you select which Organisation Site you want to navigate to (for users with more that one associated Organisation), and once you’re in your Organisation Site, a new tile menu will support your navigation across the relevant pages, with more detail about the content of each page.
