This BSC Procedure (BSCP) defines the process of applying Supplier Charges to Suppliers operating under Supplier Volume Allocation. It describes the key interfaces and timetable responsibilities for Suppliers, SVAA, PARMS, the Performance Assurance Administrator (PAA) and BSC Finance.

1.2 Risk Based Performance Assurance Framework

Performance Assurance Techniques (PAT)s will be applied to a Performance Assurance Party (PAP) based on the net significance of the applicable Settlement Risk and an assessment of the PAP’s contribution to the Settlement Risk.

Settlement Risks and their net significance are captured on the Risk Evaluation Register (RER). All the Settlement Risks identified are rated in terms of severity of impact and probability (including a weighting for the strength of controls).

The Settlement Risks are assigned Performance Assurance Techniques to mitigate those risks and these PATs are recorded in the Risk Operating Plan (ROP) against each Settlement Risk.

The Risk Evaluation Register and the ROP are produced for a Performance Assurance Operating Period in accordance with the Annual Performance Assurance Timetable and the agreed Risk Evaluation Methodology (REM), which details the processes used to identify and evaluate the Settlement Risks and assess their materiality.

‘Supplier Charges’ is a Performance Assurance Technique. The menu of Supplier Charges, including performance levels are detailed in Annex S-1 of the BSC.

1.3 Main Users of the Procedure

This BSC Procedure should be used by Suppliers, the PAA, the Performance Assurance Board (PAB) and BSC Finance. It will also be of general interest to all Trading Parties who will receive Supplier Charges from Suppliers.

1.4 Use of the Procedure

The purpose of this procedure is to enable Suppliers to understand the application of Supplier Charges, their responsibilities with regard to payment of these and the query process available to them.

Throughout this procedure, timetables reflect the number of Working Days following defined events by which an activity should be completed.

1.5 Balancing and Settlement Code Provision

This BSC Procedure has been produced in accordance with the provisions of the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC), in particular Section S-1. In the event of an inconsistency between the provisions of this BSC Procedure and the Balancing and Settlement Code, the provisions of the Balancing and Settlement Code shall prevail.

1.6 Associated BSC Procedures

This BSC Procedure interfaces with:

BSCP533 PARMS Data Provision, Reporting and Publication of Peer Comparison Data

4. Appendices

The information in sections 4.1 – 4.5 is provided for guidance only and details can be found in Annex S-1 of Section S of the Code which takes precedence over this BSCP.

4.1 Supplier Standards Subject to SCs

Paragraph 2 of Annex S-1 of the Code details five Serials with related Standards, of which four Serials are associated with Supplier Charges.

4.2 Levels of SCs

The financial value of SCs is determined by what Trading Parties have agreed is “a genuine pre-estimate of the loss likely to be suffered by other Trading Parties”. The agreed charges are detailed in paragraph 3 in Annex S-1 of Section S of the Code.

4.3 Collection of Performance Data

4.3.1 Information from the Supplier. As detailed in BSCP533, all Suppliers are required to submit a performance report to the BSCCo 20 WD after the end of the month. The information in this report that will be used in the calculation of SCs relates to Serial SP04.

4.3.2 Information from SVAA. As detailed in BSCP533, SVAA will submit a performance report to BSCCo 7 working days after the end of the month. This report will contain details of Settlement data provided (the mix of actual and estimated data) and will be used in the calculation of SCs relating to Serial SP08.

Information on GSP Group Take and Supplier Deemed Take (needed for the calculation of the SCs) is provided from SVAA 20 WD after the last calendar day of the month.

4.3.3 Information from PARMS. Serials SP01 & SP02 relate to the timely submission of performance reports (every month) and performance logs (only on request from the PAA). Performance against these Standards is monitored by PARMS and the SC will be charged in the following month. For example, if the performance report for February’s performance is not received on the due date in March, the SC will be included in the batch run in April. All Serials provided by a Supplier's appointed agent, on behalf of that Supplier shall be subject to SP01, with the exception of those Serials referred to in BSCP533 Appendix B: PARMS Calculation Guidelines.

In the instance where SVAA provides performance data late, Suppliers will not be liable for an SC against Serial SP01 as long as their own monthly performance report was received on time.

4.4 Calculation of SCs

4.4.1 Calculation of SCs is a mechanical process carried out by PARMS on the data provided under BSCP533. Details of the calculations performed can be found in Annex S-1 of Section S of the Code.

4.4.2 Liability Caps. There is a limit set on each GSP Group liability by the PAB, in accordance with paragraph 3.8 of Annex S-1 of Section S of the Code. In addition, each Supplier has a cap set for each month for each GSP Group in which it trades, derived from Supplier Cap Take within the GSP Group. Details of this calculation can be found in Annex S-1 of Section S of the Code.

4.4.3 Retrospective SCs. SCs will be applied retrospectively within the parameters laid down by Annex S-1 of Section S of the Code. Interest will be due on retrospective SCs at Base Rate from the deemed due payment date.

4.5. Calculation of Re-Distribution of SCs

4.5.1 Supplier – Trading Party Allocation. Of the total SCs payable, 90% is re-distributed to Suppliers trading NHH energy in the GSP Group where the SC was incurred and 10% is re-distributed to Trading Parties.

4.5.2 GSP Group Re-distribution. Funds are re-distributed to all Suppliers who are NHH traders in the GSP Group as per that Supplier’s share of the total quantity of energy attributable to Non Half Hourly Metering Systems (after adjustment for Line Loss Factors) taken by all Suppliers in the GSP Group during the relevant month.

4.5.3 Trading Party Re-distribution. The funds due to Trading Parties (including the Supplier who incurred the SC) will be re-distributed on the basis of their Funding Shares. This information will be provided by BSCCo, on a monthly basis.

BSCCo calculates the Main Funding Share on the final Working Day of the third month after the month for which the Main Funding Share is to be calculated. For example the Main Funding Share for the January period is calculated on 30 April.

For this reason Supplier Charges for a reporting period cannot be calculated until the fourth month after the reporting period itself, when the Main Funding Share is available for that reporting period. For example the Supplier Charges for the January period will be calculated on or after 1 May.

4.6. Report Authorisation and Distribution

4.6.1 SC Reports and a Payment Instruction will be produced monthly at the monthly batch run of PARMS (end of the month + 26 WD, as in accordance with BSCP533).

4.6.2 All SC Reports and the Payment Instruction will be submitted to the next PAB meeting for approval. (paragraph 1.4.2 (c) of Section J of the Code).

4.6.3 Once approved, the SC Reports will be distributed to the appropriate Suppliers and Trading Parties. The Payment Instruction will be passed to BSC Finance on the day after the PAB meeting.

4.7 Invoicing

4.7.1 BSC Finance will incorporate a net figure for Supplier Charges for each Trading Party in its next BSCCo Bill.

4.7.2 Typically, BSCCo Bills are issued monthly and rules for payment are in accordance with Annex S-1 of Section S of the Code.

4.8 Adjustments

4.8.1 Adjustments may be required as a result of the need to apply interest to an earlier months payment or as a result of an error in an earlier months SCs calculation. BSC Finance will record overdue (late) payments and apply interest from date at which payment should have occurred. Adjustments required to payment will be carried out by BSC Finance on the basis of notification provided by the PAA. These will be determined on a case by case basis.

4.8.2 Query resolution adjustments to data will be input manually into PARMS, so that the data in the System is correct. Reports will be re-run as necessary.

4.9 Collection and Re-distribution of Funds

4.9.1 Responsibility for collecting funds and adding interest for late payment rests with BSC Finance. A Payment Instruction form will be issued by the PAA to BSC Finance detailing the individual net payments/receipts applicable for each Trading Party– this will form the basis of the item in the BSCCo Bill.

The Payment Instruction form will include in the net figure any adjustments relating to previous months. These adjustments may arise as a result of the need to apply Interest to an earlier months payment or as a result of an error in an earlier months SC calculation.

4.9.2 Interest may be applied in the event that:

A Supplier fails to submit its Routine Performance Monitoring Report within the required timescales and the report identifies that Supplier Charges are due as a result of a failure to comply with SP04;

A Supplier fails to pay its Supplier Charges on the due date;

A change is made to an amount due to or from a Supplier or Trading Party as a result of an error being identified and corrected.

4.9.3 For (i) and (ii) Interest is applied at the Default Interest Rate from the date on which payments were due (which in the case of (i) is the date on which payments of the SC’s would have been due had the report been delivered within the required timescales) to the date on which payments are actually made. In the case of (iii), interest is applied at Base Rate.

4.9.4 The PAA is responsible for applying interest in the case of (i) and (iii) and incorporating these in the net figure advised to BSC finance in the Payment Instruction. BSC Finance is responsible for applying interest in the case of (ii).

In the event of default, the PAA will be responsible for re-calculating the distribution of funds and will ensure that the revised figures are incorporated in the Payment Instruction to BSC finance.

4.10 Queries

4.10.1 If a Supplier wishes to query their SC Report for a particular month, they must do so within 10 WD of receipt of the SC Report. Receipt of the report is deemed to be 1 WD after electronic submission of reports by PARMS.

4.10.2 A Supplier can only raise a query in relation to a GSP Group in which it trades.

4.10.3 All queries will be logged on the PAA Supplier Charges Queries Log.

4.10.4 Queries that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement between the PAA and party/parties concerned within 16 WD of receipt of the query by the BSC Service Desk, will be escalated to the PAB.

4.10.5 In response to a PAB Query resolution, adjustments may be made as per section 4.8, above or the PAB may instruct the PAA to amend and rescale liability or waive payment.
