1 A Distribution System Operator (DSO) who is (or intends to be) the holder of a Distribution Licence is known as a Licensed Distribution System Operator (LDSO). See Appendix 1 for more detail on the difference between the two terms and the implications for BSCP65.
2 Authorisations are required for submission of Party Registration Applications and Funds Accession forms or their online equivalents.
3 Applicants should note that registration of a Supplier role in BSC Central Systems must be coordinated with registration in MDD. The effective from date of the Supplier participation capacity and BM Unit Go-Live Dates in CRA must match the dates registered in MDD for SVAA and CRA systems to interface effectively. If the applicant is registering as an LDSO then the effective from date of the LDSO role in BSC Central Systems must be the same as the registration of the LDSO role in MDD.
4 Applicants should note that registration of a Supplier role in BSC Central Systems must be coordinated with registration in MDD. The effective from date of the Supplier participation capacity and BM Unit Go-Live Dates in CRA must match the dates registered in MDD for SVAA and CRA systems to interface effectively. If the applicant is registering as an LDSO then the effective from date of the LDSO role in BSC Central Systems must be the same as the registration of the LDSO role in MDD.
5 If Party is registering as a Trading Party for the first time, CRA allocates Energy Accounts and Party must complete and submit Funds Accession Form using BSCP301.
6 De-registration of the Supplier in MDD will need to be coordinated with the deregistration of the Supplier in CRS, along with any BM Units still associated with the Supplier ID. The Party is responsible for ensuring that all corresponding changes to MDD are completed in the required timescales, and other relevant SVA Procedures complied with. If the Party intends to cease trading in the participation capacity of “Supplier”, they must first request the CRA to set the “Effective To Date” for their BM Units and participation capacity as “Supplier” to a future Settlement Date, but not less than 20 WD from the date of notification.
7 For the avoidance of doubt, the notes included here do not apply to DSOs.
8 The organisations and BSC Agents consulted as part of this step may vary depending upon the participation capacity or capacities of the Party.
9 The Authority is not obliged to reply to this request. The onus will be on the Withdrawing Party to provide the relevant confirmation.
10 Panel Decision may be conditional until BSCCo receives confirmation that the Authority has revoked the withdrawing applicant’s license or transferred as appropriate.
11 Where the credit cover is held as a Letter of Credit (LoC) or Approved Insurance Product (AIP) the Party must make sure that a new LoC or AIP has been provided in the new name with the same effective from date as the Withdrawal Date.
12 Checks will be carried out against the provisions in Section A 5.1.3 of the Code at 5pm, 2 WD before the Withdrawal Date (the earliest Withdrawal Date will be after the Final Reconciliation Run for the last Settlement Day traded, and the corresponding Payment Date must have passed) to determine whether or not the Party is prevented from withdrawing from the Code. The Withdrawing Party should allow sufficient time for the completion of deregistrations and terminations as described in Appendix 3 of this document.
13 The organisations and BSC Agents consulted as part of this step may vary depending upon the participation capacity or participation capacities of the Party.
14 The Authority is not obliged to reply to this request. The onus is on the Party to provide any relevant proof.
15 Pursuant to Section M2.3.1A of the Code Parties in Default solely by virtue of Section H3.1.1(g) of the Code are entitled to apply for a reduction in the amount provided in their Letter of Credit and/or to withdraw cash it has deposited.
