1.1.3 For the purposes of this Annex K-2:

(a) references to Exports and Imports are to Exports and Imports of the nominated BM Units;

(b) references to a Trading Unit shall not include a Sole Trading Unit.

1.2 Class 1

1.2.1 If the Trading Unit Application shall state that it is a Class 1 application then the Panel shall determine from the Trading Unit Application and supporting documentation and other matters (and any further evidence provided in accordance with paragraph 1.7) if the nominated BM Units are or are to be electrically configured in the same manner as is prescribed in one of the line diagrams contained in BSCP31 and fulfil or will fulfil all the conditions specified in such BSC Procedure applicable to a Class 1 application, in which event the nominated combination of BM Units shall be treated as belonging to a single Trading Unit.

1.3 Class 2

1.3.1 If the Trading Unit Application shall state that it is a Class 2 application then the Panel shall determine from the Trading Unit Application and supporting documentation and other matters (and any further evidence provided in accordance with paragraph 1.7) if the nominated BM Units are or are to be electrically connected solely by Dedicated Assets, in which event the BM Units shall be treated as belonging to a single Trading Unit.

1.3.2 In this paragraph 1.3, "Dedicated Assets" means assets and equipment which are used solely to connect electrically (a) the location at which the Exports originate with (b) the location at which the Imports are taken (and no other), and additionally satisfy one of the diagrammatic representations of Dedicated Assets contained in BSCP31.

1.4 Class 3

1.4.1 If the Trading Unit Application shall state that it is a Class 3 application then the Panel shall determine from the Trading Unit Application and supporting documentation and other matters (and any further evidence provided in accordance with paragraph 1.7) if the nominated BM Units are or are to be electrically connected by Contiguous Assets, in which event the nominated BM Units shall be treated as a single Trading Unit.

1.4.2 In this paragraph 1.4:

(a) "Contiguous Assets" means those Specified Assets and Equipment at a location which connect by one continuous electrical connection the location at which the Exports originates with the location at which the Imports are taken, which Specified Assets and Equipment are all owned by the Trading Unit Applicants and/or are Specified Assets and Equipment in respect of which a contribution is or will be made by the Trading Unit Applicants to the provision and installation or maintenance and repair costs thereof or where such Specified Assets and Equipment are already provided and installed, the maintenance and repair costs thereof; and

(b) "Specified Assets and Equipment" means:

(i) assets and equipment identified and quoted in the Connection Agreement of any Trading Unit Applicant where such assets and equipment include assets and equipment identified and quoted in the Connection Agreements relating to all Trading Unit Applicants which form part of the continuous electrical connection for the purposes of (a) above; and/or

(ii) assets and equipment owned by a person other than the Trading Unit Applicant and any other Trading Party which is responsible for BM Unit(s) associated with the Trading Unit Application, and which form part of the continuous electrical connection for the purposes of (a) above.

1.5 Class 4

1.5.1 If the Trading Unit Application shall state that it is a Class 4 application then the Panel shall determine from the Trading Unit Application and supporting documentation and other matters (and any further evidence provided in accordance with paragraph 1.7) if all of the nominated BM Units are Exempt Export BM Units and are located in the same GSP Group, in which event the nominated BM Units shall be treated as belonging to a single Trading Unit.

1.6 Class 5

1.6.1 If the Trading Unit Application shall state that it is a Class 5 application then the Panel shall determine from the Trading Unit Application and supporting documentation and other matters (and any other evidence provided in accordance with paragraph 1.8) if the nominated BM Units are or are to be:

(a) Interconnector BM Units associated with the same Interconnector where such Interconnector is located at one Site only;

(b) a combination of BM Units falling within paragraph 1.6.1(a) and either of the following:

(i) BM Units that are or are to be electrically connected solely by Dedicated Assets, to one or more Boundary Points of that Interconnector; or

(ii) BM Units that are or are to be electrically connected by Contiguous Assets, to one or more Boundary Points of that Interconnector.

1.6.2 In this paragraph 1.6 "Site" shall have the meaning as set out in Section K1.6.2.

1.6.3 For the purposes of this paragraph 1.6:

(a) "Contiguous Assets" shall have the meaning as set out in paragraph 1.4.2; and

(b) "Dedicated Assets" shall have the meaning as set out in paragraph 1.3.2.

1.7 Class 6

1.7.1 If the Trading Unit Application shall state that it is a Class 6 application or if the Panel shall determine that the nominated BM Units the subject of a Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4 or Class 5 Trading Unit Application do not satisfy the conditions specified in paragraphs 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 or (as the case may be) 1.6, the Panel shall determine from the Trading Unit Application and supporting documentation and other matters (and any further evidence provided in accordance with paragraph 1.8) if the nominated BM Units shall be treated as a Trading Unit having regard to the criteria set out in paragraph 1.7.2.

1.7.2 The criteria referred to in paragraph 1.7.1 are:

(a) whether, although not satisfying the conditions applicable to a Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4 or Class 5 Trading Unit Application, the Trading Unit Application demonstrates (to the reasonable satisfaction of the Panel) sufficient similarities with sites which would satisfy those conditions such that it would be unreasonable not to treat the nominated BM Units as a single Trading Unit;

(b) whether there are any other facts or evidence in support of the Trading Unit Application that in the reasonable opinion of the Panel demonstrate that the nominated BM Units ought to be treated as a single Trading Unit.

1.8 Further evidence

1.8.1 The Panel may request a Trading Unit Applicant to produce such further evidence as the Panel may reasonably require in support of its Trading Unit Application before the Panel makes any determination as to whether the nominated BM Units are to be treated as a Trading Unit, and the Panel shall not be bound to make any determination on the issue of whether the nominated BM Units are a Trading Unit pending receipt of such further evidence.
