2 MDD also maintains information regarding the GSP Groups in which Licensed Distribution System Operators (LDSOs) and Supplier Meter Registration Agents (SMRAs) are operating.
3 Suppliers should note the following:
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;
Non Half Hourly consumption will be allocated to the Base BM Unit by default, without any need to submit additional allocations;
Specifying an Effective To date will terminate an allocation to an additional BM Unit once the date has been reached.
4 The originator of the NHH BM Unit data must be authorised in accordance with BSCP38.
5 The SVVA shall specify the Effective from Settlement Date (J1869) the Effective to Settlement Date (J1870) in the D0354 Metering System Reporting Notification
