1.1 Scope and Purpose of the Procedure

The purpose of this procedure is to ensure maintenance of an accurate, up-to-date set of Supplier Volume Allocation standing data. The standing data is used by the Supplier Volume Allocation Agent (SVAA) to ensure the correct working of its internal processing and, where appropriate, by the Central Registration Agent (CRA) for use in maintaining a list of BSC Agent details. The procedure covers the management and control of all changes made to the standing data in the Supplier Volume Allocation, System with the exceptions of:

SVA Metering System data registered in SMRS; and

Market Domain Data (MDD) which is handled exclusively in BSCP509 (Changes to Market Domain Data)1; and

Data Aggregator standing data changes which are required to be implemented for a Settlement Date only to enable a Supplier Volume Allocation Run to be completed. These changes are processed by the SVAA as contractual obligations and raised as problems with the BSC Service Desk.

Changes can be as the result of a request to add, change or delete individual standing data items.

1.2 Main Users of Procedure and their Responsibilities

The main users of this procedure are:

Suppliers, via their relevant authorised signatory or alternatively their nominated Non Half Hourly (NHH) Balancing Mechanism (BM) Unit representative, to raise / confirm Supplier / Supplier Agent and NHH BM Unit changes.

    • Virtual Trading Parties (VTP), Virtual Lead Parties (VLP) and Asset Metering VLPs (AMVLP), via their relevant Authorised Signatory to raise / confirm VLP / AMVLP / Asset Metering Agent and Secondary BM Unit changes.

    • Suppliers, VTPs, VLPs and AMVLPs, as Lead Parties of Baselined BM Units, via their relevant authorised signatory, to submit BM Unit Allocation Baselining Detail and BM Unit Allocation Event Day changes.

• The Balancing and Settlement Code Company (BSCCo) who authorises Supplier / Supplier Agent related changes.

• The SVAA who notifies the CRA of changes to the SVAA contact details.

• The SVAA who processes any changes to the Supplier / Supplier Agent / VTP/ VLP / AMVLP / Asset Metering Agent standing data and notifies the relevant Supplier, VTP, VLP or AMVLP of such changes via a monthly report;

• The SVAA who processes any change to the NHH BM Unit Supplier Volume Allocation standing data. Prior to providing any NHH BM Unit data to the SVAA, Suppliers are required to ensure that their relevant authorised signatory or nominated NHH BM Unit representative has been registered as a relevant Authorised Person in accordance with BSCP38;

    • The SVAA who receives MSID Pair Allocation Notifications from VTPs, VLPs, AMVLPs or the NETSO, and AMSID Pair Allocation Notifications from AMVLPs2, and who obtains the relevant:

    • MSID Standing Data which comprises details of the Grid Supply Point Group, HHDA, Supplier, Line Loss Factor Class and Consumption Component Class Id for each SVA Metering System;

    • AMSID Standing Data which comprises details of the Grid Supply Point Group, HHDC, AMHHDC, MOA, AMMOA, Line Loss Factor Class and Consumption Component Class Id for each Asset Metering System registered with the SVAA; and

    • The SVAA, who receives BM Unit Allocation Baselining Detail and BM Unit Allocation Event Day data from the Lead Parties of Baselined BM Units.

1.3 Use of the Procedure

The key milestones for changes to standing data are established as follows:

    • Following a Supplier’s initial entry into the market, Supplier and Supplier Agent related standing data must be provided no later than five Working Days (WD) after the first Supply Start Date (SSD) for the Supplier appointment in the GSP Group.

    • Following the initial registration of standing data, subsequent updates must be confirmed by the Supplier no later than ten WD following receipt of a monthly report of Standing Data changes from SVAA.

    • Following the initial registration of SVA Metering Systems in MSID Pairs, subsequent ad hoc notification of new or amended SVA Metering Systems or MSID Pairs by the VTP, VLP, AMVLP or the NETSO.

    • Following the initial registration of Assets and related Asset Metering Systems, subsequent ad hoc notification of new or amended Assets and Asset Metering Systems by the AMVLP3,4 or Supplier.

The Supplier must ensure that Non Half Hourly Balancing Mechanism (BM) Unit changes are received by the SVAA no later than Gate Closure for the period to which the BM Unit applies. BM Unit changes provided after this timescale will not be processed by the SVAA.

The VTP, VLP, AMVLP and the NETSO must ensure that it notifies the SVAA of a new or amended MSID Pair no later than 5 WD before the Effective From Settlement Date that the MSID Pair allocation is to be valid.

An AMVLP must ensure that it notifies the SVAA of a new Asset and Asset Metering System(s) no later than 5 WD before the Effective From Settlement Date for the allocation of the related AMSID Pair in a Secondary BM Unit. A Supplier must ensure that it notifies the SVAA of a new Asset and Asset Metering System(s) no later than 5 WD before the Effective From Settlement Date for the related EMR AMSID Declaration.

The Lead Party of a Baselined BM Units may only send notification of Event Days which are not more than 30 calendar days in the past.

The SVAA must ensure that any changes to their contact details must be provided to the CRA within 1 WD of those changes becoming effective.

4.1.2 Business Events triggering SVA Settlement Standing Data Changes

The following business events will trigger changes to Supplier Volume Allocation standing data:

3Note that SVAA will generate an AMSID Pair on the successful registration of an Asset and related Asset Metering System(s).

4VLPs that wish to register an Asset and its Asset Metering Systems and to allocate the related AMSID Pair to a Secondary BM Unit must complete the Asset Metering VLP Qualification process to become AMVLPs.

5 VLPs that wish to register an Asset and its Asset Metering Systems and to allocate the related AMSID Pair to a Secondary BM Unit must additionally complete the Asset Metering VLP Qualification process.

6 Suppliers should note the following:

  1. If an NHH BM Unit Allocation is only required to be effective for a particular Settlement Day, Form BSCP507/02 should be submitted with dates in both the Effective From and Effective To fields;

  2. Non Half Hourly consumption will be allocated to the Base BM Unit by default, without any need to submit additional allocations;

  3. Specifying an Effective To date will terminate an allocation to an additional BM Unit once the date has been reached.

7 The originator of the NHH BM Unit data must be authorised in accordance with BSCP38.

8 The SVA shall specify the Effective from Settlement Date (J1869) the Effective to Settlement Date (J1870) in the D0354 Metering System Reporting Notification

9 Note that the Lead Party may alternatively register the Baselined BM Unit with CRA in accordance with BSCP15, in which case the SVAA will be able to access the data through the shared Elexon Kinnect database.
