(c) the SAA shall continue to request the person responsible for submitting such data to resubmit and/or correct the data.

1.4.3 For the purposes of paragraph 1.4.2, "significant" shall be interpreted having regard to the purpose for which the Interim Information Settlement Run is produced, namely to provide a reasonably accurate reflection of what is expected to be contained in the Initial Settlement Run in respect of the relevant Settlement Day (taking into account the fact that the Interim Information Settlement Run does not include any data in respect of Supplier Volume Allocation).

1.4.4 Paragraph 1.4.2 shall not apply to data in respect of Supplier Volume Allocation.

1.4.5 Subject to paragraphs 1.4.6 and 1.4.7, if at any time from the Business Day prior to the day on which the SAA is to carry out the Initial Settlement Run the SAA forms the view that it does not expect to receive substantially complete and valid data in accordance with paragraph 1.3 in respect of the relevant Settlement Day in time to carry out such Settlement Run in accordance with the Settlement Calendar, then:

(a) the SAA shall inform BSCCo; and

(b) BSCCo shall determine whether default data should be substituted for the invalid or missing data (in accordance with BSCP01) for the purposes of producing the Initial Settlement Run or whether production of the Initial Settlement Run should be delayed for a specified period in order that complete and valid data may be obtained by the SAA.

1.5.2 The Market Index Definition Statement shall contain the following:

(a) nomination of the particular entity or entities (each a "Market Index Data Provider") which shall be responsible for making available Market Index Data in respect of each Settlement Period for the purposes of paragraph 4.4;

(b) full definition of the particular data and methodology to be used by the Market Index Data Provider(s) in determining the Market Index Data for each Settlement Period (including, where applicable, identification of the particular products, period of trading and any relevant weighting to be applied); and

(c) definition and determination, for the purposes of paragraph 4.3A.1, of a minimum liquidity requirement per Settlement Period (expressed in MWh) in respect of each Market Index Data Provider individually (in each case, an "Individual Liquidity Threshold") which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be zero in any case and may vary in any case according to the Settlement Period and/or the Settlement Day or otherwise.

1.5.3 The principles referred to in paragraph 1.5.1 are:

(a) the Market Index Data is to be used in Settlement to calculate a price (expressed in £/MWh) in respect of each Settlement Period (in accordance with paragraphs 4.4.2(b) and 4.4.3(b)) which reflects the price of wholesale electricity in Great Britain for delivery in respect of that Settlement Period in the short term market, in circumstances where the levels of liquidity in the market during that period and in respect thereof are not exceptionally low;

(b) for the purposes of paragraph 1.5.3(a):

(i) 'reflects' means 'provides a reasonable reflection of';

(ii) references to the 'market' are to the market in general and not to any particular market or particular type of market (organised or otherwise);

(iii) 'short term' is to be taken as meaning, in respect of a Settlement Period, a period of hours or days immediately prior to the Submission Deadline but in any event no more than three Business Days prior to the Submission Deadline;

(iv) 'delivery' refers to transactions where the intended method of performance is by way of submission of Energy Contract Volume Notifications or Metered Volume Reallocation Notifications; and

(v) the price of wholesale electricity for delivery in respect of a Settlement Period may include the price for a block of Settlement Periods which include that Settlement Period, provided the block comprises no more than twenty four hours in total.

1.5.4 The Panel shall review the Market Index Definition Statement:

(a) from time to time, and in any event at least once every twelve months; and/or

(b) if any change in circumstances occurs or is expected to occur which affects or is likely to affect in any material way the provision of Market Index Data by a Market Index Data Provider; and/or

(c) where necessary in order to give full and timely effect to any relevant Approved Modification by the Implementation Date for that Approved Modification,

by reference to the principles set out in paragraph 1.5.3, and shall make such revisions to the Market Index Definition Statement as may be determined by it and approved by the Authority following such review.

1.5.5 In establishing and reviewing the Market Index Definition Statement, the Panel shall:

(a) investigate what data exists and is available in respect of the market referred to in paragraph 1.5.3;

(b) consult with Parties and other interested parties in connection with the Market Index Definition Statement and have due regard to any representations made and not withdrawn during such consultations;

1.5.6 Where a revised Market Index Definition Statement is approved by the Authority:

(a) such revised Market Index Definition Statement shall be effective from such date as the Panel shall determine with the approval of the Authority (and shall apply in respect of Settlement Days from that date); and

(b) the Panel Secretary shall give notice of such date to each Party, the SAA and the BMRA.

1.5.7 BSCCo shall ensure that a copy of the Market Index Definition Statement (as revised from time to time) is:

(a) sent to each Party, the SAA and the BMRA; and

(b) published, and made available on request to any person.

1.5.8 For the purposes of this paragraph 1.5, the "commencement date" is the Settlement Day with effect from which, pursuant to paragraphs 4.4.2(b) and 4.4.3(b), Market Index Price and Market Index Volume data is first to be applied in determining energy imbalance prices for the purposes of Settlement.

1.6 Provision of Market Index Data

1.6.1 The Market Index Data to be provided by each Market Index Data Provider in respect of each Settlement Period shall comprise for that Settlement Period:

(a) a volume expressed in MWh; and

(b) a price expressed in £/MWh,

in each case determined in accordance with the Market Index Definition Statement.

1.6.2 For each Settlement Period, each Market Index Data Provider will determine its Market Index Data in accordance with the Market Index Definition Statement and submit such data to:

(a) the BMRA, such as to be received by the BMRA no later than the end of the Settlement Period to which the data pertains;

(b) the SAA and BSCCo, by way of daily report containing the data separately for each Settlement Period in the Settlement Day to which the data pertains and such as to be received by the SAA and BSCCo no later than the end of the Business Day next following the relevant Settlement Day.

1.6.3 Without prejudice to paragraph 4.3A.1, if in respect of a Settlement Period and a Market Index Data Provider the Individual Liquidity Threshold for that Market Index Data Provider (as determined in accordance with the Market Index Definition Statement) exceeds the Market Index Volume which would otherwise have been submitted by it, the Market Index Data Provider will instead submit a Market Index Volume with a value of zero.

1.6.4 Without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to BSCCo under the Market Index Data Provider Contract, if a Market Index Data Provider is unable to determine and/or submit its Market Index Data or to do so within the timescales set out in paragraph 1.6.2, it will:

(a) inform BSCCo, the BMRA and the SAA immediately, giving details of the cause of such inability, when it expects to be able to determine and submit such data and the Settlement Periods likely to be affected;

(b) endeavour to determine and submit such data as soon as it reasonably can, in which case such data shall be taken into account in the next Settlement Run for the relevant Settlement Day after such submission.

1.6.5 In respect of any Settlement Day for which the SAA does not receive Market Index Data from a Market Index Data Provider:

(a) the provisions of paragraph 1.4, other than paragraph 1.4.1, shall not apply (and the default rules under paragraph 4.3A.1 shall apply instead); and

(b) the SAA shall inform BSCCo.

1.6.6 Without prejudice to Section W1.3.2(c)(iv), where, following the submission by a Market Index Data Provider of Market Index Data in respect of a Settlement Period in accordance with paragraph 1.6.2, a change is made to any underlying data item of the Market Index Data Provider such that the Market Index Data so submitted is no longer the data which would have been submitted by it in respect of that Settlement Period in accordance with the Market Index Definition Statement:

(a) the Market Index Data Provider will promptly:

(i) inform BSCCo of such change and its effect on the Market Index Data;

(ii) resubmit the Market Index Data for the relevant Settlement Period(s) taking account of such change; and

(b) where the Market Index Data Provider resubmits any Market Index Data as provided in paragraph (a)(ii) above, such revised Market Index Data shall be taken into account in the next Settlement Run for the relevant Settlement Day after such submission.

1.6.7 It shall be the responsibility of BSCCo to enter into a contract with each person nominated as a Market Index Data Provider for the provision of Market Index Data in accordance with this paragraph 1.6 and for these purposes:

(a) a Market Index Data Provider shall not be considered to be a 'BSC Agent' under the Code;

(b) notwithstanding paragraph 1.6.7(a), the provisions of Sections E2.1.2, E2.2.4, E2.2.5, E2.2.6, E2.4, E2.6 and Section E3 shall apply to each Market Index Data Provider Contract and to the provision of Market Index Data as if references to BSC Agent included the Market Index Data Provider and references to a BSC Agent Contract included the Market Index Data Provider Contract subject to the following:

(i) provisions in Section E2 and E3 relating to the selection and appointment of BSC Agents shall not apply (the selection and appointment of Market Index Data Provider(s) being prescribed in the Market Index Definition Statement);

(ii) references in Section E2 and E3 to BSC Service Descriptions shall be disregarded; and

(iii) the provisions of Section E3.2 apply to a Market Index Data Provider in its capacity as such and not in any other capacity which it may have under the Code.

(a) such Party shall have no rights, benefits, obligations or liability in its capacity as Market Index Data Provider to or against any other Party under the Code, but without prejudice to its rights and obligations:

(i) as Market Index Data Provider under its Market Index Data Provider Contract; and

(ii) in any other capacity under the Code;

(b) references to Party or Parties in the Code shall be construed as excluding any Market Index Data Provider (which is a Party) in its capacity as a Market Index Data Provider (but as including such person in any other capacity it may have under the Code);

(c) the provision of Market Index Data shall be made pursuant to the Market Index Data Provider Contract and not pursuant to the Code and, accordingly, such data shall not be considered relevant party data for the purposes of Section H4.6;

(d) the provision, disclosure and use of any market data relating to a Party which is used in or in connection with the determination of Market Index Data by a Market Index Data Provider shall not be considered or construed as being made pursuant to any provision of the Code.

1.6.9 Notwithstanding paragraph 1.6.7(a):

(a) Section H4.6 shall apply to Market Index Data Providers as if references to BSC Agents included Market Index Data Providers and references to BSC Agent Contracts included Market Index Data Provider Contracts;

(b) references to BSC Agents and BSC Agent Contracts in Section W shall be deemed to include, respectively, Market Index Data Providers and Market Index Data Provider Contracts.

1.6A.7 The Panel shall not delegate its power to determine changes to the Loss of Load Probability Calculation Statement (subject to the approval of the Authority) but it may delegate its responsibility to maintain and review the Loss of Load Probability Calculation Statement.

1.7 Single imbalance price

1.7.1 Where, for the purposes of any Contingency Provisions, a single imbalance price is to apply in relation to any Settlement Period:

(a) paragraph 1.7.1A or paragraph 1.7.2 shall apply;

(b) the provisions of paragraphs 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 in relation to the determination of System Buy Price and System Sell Price shall not apply; and

(c) for all purposes of the Code, the System Buy Price and the System Sell Price for that Settlement Period shall be the same and shall have the value established in accordance with paragraphs 1.7.1A or (as applicable) 1.7.2 (and shall be deemed to have been determined under paragraph 4.4).

1.7.1A Where a single imbalance price is to apply in relation to a relevant Settlement Period for the purposes of Section G3 or Section G4, the Panel shall, subject to the approval of the Authority, determine that single imbalance price in accordance with this paragraph 1.7.1A or, where the Panel, in its opinion, considers this provision unsuitable, in accordance with paragraph 1.7.2. For the purposes of this paragraph 1.7.1A the single imbalance price shall be:

(a) subject to paragraphs (b) and (d), the mean of the System Sell Price and the System Buy Price calculated respectively for each set of corresponding Settlement Periods in the thirty whole Settlement Days immediately preceding the Settlement Day on which the System Restoration Period (as defined in Section G3.1.2(d)) or Security Period (as defined in the Fuel Security Code) commenced;

(b) the NETSO shall determine that certain Settlement Periods within the Settlement Days identified under paragraph (a) be excluded from the single imbalance price calculation if those Settlement Periods occur within a System Restoration Period or Security Period or if during those Settlement Periods emergency instructions were issued under the Grid Code;

(c) where paragraph (b) applies, the Panel shall use the System Sell Price and the System Buy Price from additional Settlement Periods to achieve a mean of 30 System Sell Prices and System Buy Prices for each corresponding Settlement Period. Such additional Settlement Periods shall be those corresponding Settlement Periods in the Settlement Day immediately preceding the Settlement Days identified in paragraph (a);

(d) where a Clock Change Day occurs in the thirty Settlement Days immediately prior to the System Restoration Period or Security Period that Settlement Day is to be excluded for the purposes of this paragraph 1.7.1A and a further Settlement Day in accordance with paragraph (e) is to be selected;

(e) where paragraph (d) applies, the Panel shall use the System Sell Price and the System Buy Price from an additional Settlement Day (immediately prior to the thirty Settlement Days referred to in paragraph (a)) to achieve a mean of 30 System Sell Prices and System Buy Prices for each corresponding Settlement Period;

(f) where a Clock Change Day occurs in a System Restoration Period or Security Period:

(i) if the Clock Change Day is short (forty six Settlement Periods) the third and fourth Settlement Periods (and thus the single imbalance price calculated in accordance with this paragraph 1.7.1A for the third and fourth Settlement Periods) shall be ignored for that Clock Change Day; and

(ii) where the Clock Change Day is long (fifty Settlement Periods) the single imbalance price calculated in accordance with this paragraph 1.7.1A for the third and fourth Settlement Periods shall be repeated for the fifth and sixth Settlement Periods of that Clock Change Day. The single imbalance price for the remaining Settlement Periods for that Clock Change Day will be the single imbalance price calculated in accordance with this paragraph 1.7.1A but (other than for the first and second Settlement Periods) for two Settlement Periods earlier (that is to say the single imbalance price calculated for Settlement Period five will apply to Settlement Period seven on a long Clock Change Day, the single imbalance price calculated for Settlement Period six will apply to Settlement Period eight and so on); and

(g) in this paragraph 1.7.1A, save for paragraph (f), "corresponding" means corresponding in sequence (that is to say, the first Settlement Period of a Settlement Day corresponds to the first Settlement Period of another Settlement Day and so on).

1.7.2 Subject to paragraph 1.7.1A, where this paragraph applies, the Panel shall determine, in its opinion, subject to the approval of the Authority, what is or would have been the market price for bulk electricity in the relevant Settlement Period; and for these purposes:

(a) bulk electricity means electricity traded under contracts which may be performed by the notification of Energy Contract Volumes in accordance with Section P;

(b) the Panel may make reference for the purposes of its determination to reported prices and price indices for bulk electricity for any Settlement Period (on any day) which the Panel considers to be comparable, and to equivalent prices and indices relating to periods prior to the Go-Live Date (making appropriate adjustments in respect of any differing treatment of transmission losses and related matters).

1.7.3 The Panel shall wherever practicable make its determination in time for such determinations to be taken into account in the Initial Settlement Run in relation to the relevant Settlement Period.

1.7.4 BSCCo shall promptly notify the Panel's determination to the SAA and to each Party.

1.8 De Minimis Acceptance Threshold

1.8.1 For the purposes of the Code the "De Minimis Acceptance Threshold" (DMAT) shall be 1 MWh or such other amount (in MWh) as the Panel may from time to time determine, after consultation with, the NETSO and Trading Parties and subject to the approval of the Authority, as the de-minimis level below which it would be appropriate to disregard accepted Bids and accepted Offers from the calculation of the energy imbalance prices.

1.8.2 Where a revised value for the De Minimis Acceptance Threshold is approved by the Authority:

(a) such revised value shall be effective from such date as the Panel shall determine with the approval of the Authority, not being less than twenty Business Days after the date of the Panel’s determination;

(b) the Panel Secretary shall promptly give notice of the revised value and its effective date to each Party, the SAA and the BMRA and shall copy such notice to the Authority;

1.9 Continuous Acceptance Duration Limit (CADL)

1.9.1 For the purposes of the Code the "Continuous Acceptance Duration Limit" (CADL) shall be ten minutes or such other amount (in minutes) determined by the Panel and approved by the Authority.

1.12.8 The provisions of this paragraph are without prejudice to Section F and the right of any person referred to in Section F2.1.1 to raise a Modification Proposal in respect of the VoLL.

1.13 Annex T-2

1.13.1 Annex T-2 shall apply for the purposes of the determination of Transmission Loss Factors.

1.14 Replacement Reserve Schedule Methodology Document

1.14.1 The Panel shall establish, and have in force at all times thereafter, a document containing detailed requirements for the construction of Point Acceptance Volumes (qA^k_it) to represent the physical dispatch by the NETSO of a BM Unit to fulfil a Quarter Hour RR Activation (the "Replacement Reserve Schedule Methodology Document").

1.14.2 The Panel shall review the Replacement Reserve Schedule Methodology Document from time to time and in any event if there is a change to the NETSO’s requirements for the physical dispatch of a BM Unit to fulfil a Quarter Hour RR Activation, and shall make such revisions as it considers necessary.

1.14.3 BSCCo shall ensure that a copy of the Replacement Reserve Schedule Methodology Document (as revised from time to time) is sent to each Party, the SAA and the BMRA.

1.15 Winter Contingency BM Units

2. ALLOCATION OF TRANSMISSION LOSSES

2.1 Delivering and Offtaking Trading Units

2.1.1 For the purpose of scaling for transmission losses, in respect of each Settlement Period,

(a) a Trading Unit is a "delivering" Trading Unit when Σ_iQM_ij > 0 and

(b) a Trading Unit is an "offtaking" Trading Unit when Σ_iQM_ij ≤ 0

where Σ_i represents the sum over all BM Units belonging to that Trading Unit.

2.2 Transmission Loss Factors

2.2.1 For the purposes of the Code, the Transmission Loss Factor and factor α shall be as follows:

(a) for each BM Unit, TLF_ij shall be determined in accordance with Annex T-2, and

(b) α = 0.45.

2.3 Determination of the Transmission Loss Multipliers

2.3.1 In respect of each Settlement Period, for each BM Unit other than Interconnector BM Units and Secondary BM Units, the Transmission Loss Multiplier shall be calculated as follows:

(a) for all BM Units belonging to Trading Units which in the Settlement Period are delivering Trading Units:

TLM_ij = 1 + TLF_ij + TLMO⁺_j

(b) for all BM Units belonging to Trading Units which in the Settlement Period are offtaking Trading Units:

TLM_ij = 1 + TLF_ij + TLMO^-_j

where:

TLMO⁺_j = – {α(Σ⁺QM_ij + Σ^-QM_ij) + Σ⁺_(non-I) (QM_ij * TLF_ij)} / Σ⁺_(non-I) QM_ij;

TLMO^-_j = {(α–1)(Σ⁺QM_ij + Σ^-QM_ij) – Σ^-_(non-I) (QM_ij * TLF_ij)} / Σ^-_(non-I) QM_ij;

Σ⁺ represents the sum over all BM Units other than Secondary BM Units belonging to Trading Units that are delivering Trading Units in the Settlement Period;

Σ^- represents the sum over all BM Units other than Secondary BM Units belonging to Trading Units that are offtaking Trading Units in the Settlement Period;

Σ⁺_(non-I)represents the sum over all BM Units other than Interconnector BM Units and Secondary BM Units belonging to Trading Units that are delivering Trading Units in the Settlement Period; and

Σ^-_(non-I)represents the sum over all BM Units other than Interconnector BM Units and Secondary BM Units belonging to Trading Units that are offtaking Trading Units in the Settlement Period.

2.3.2 In respect of each Settlement Period, for each Interconnector BM Unit, the Transmission Loss Multiplier shall be calculated as follows:

TLM_ij = 1

irrespective of whether the Interconnector BM Unit belongs to a delivering or offtaking Trading Unit in the Settlement Period.

2.3.3 In respect of each Settlement Period, for each Secondary BM Unit, the Transmission Loss Multiplier shall be calculated as follows:

TLM_ij = TLM_ij(Base)

where TLM_ij(Base) means the value of TLM_ij calculated in the Settlement Period for BM Units belonging to the Base Trading Unit in the same GSP Group as the Secondary BM Unit.

3. SETTLEMENT OF BALANCING ACTIONS

3.1 Conversion of Data Received from the NETSO

3.1.1 It is recognised that Final Physical Notification Data, Bid-Offer Pairs and Acceptance Data derived from data submitted or determined under the Grid Code (and received by the SAA from the NETSO) will contain values with associated from/to times whereas the equivalent data required for the purposes of this Section T are required to contain point values (as defined in Annex X-2).

3.1.2 Accordingly, the SAA shall convert such data received from the NETSO for the purposes of Settlement using the following conventions:

(a) in the case of Final Physical Notification Data:

(i) each value, comprising a MW 'from' level and associated 'from' time and a MW 'to' level and associated 'to' time, shall be allocated a Point Value Identification Number;

(ii) the 'to' MW level and associated 'to' time shall be a Point FPN (^fFPN_ijt) which is allocated a Point Value Identification Number of '1';

(iii) the 'from' MW level and associated 'from' time shall be a Point FPN (^fFPN_ijt) which is allocated a Point Value Identification Number of '2';

(iv) the associated time of each Point FPN with a Point Value Identification Number of 2 shall be equal to the associated time of the Point FPN with a Point Value Identification Number of 1 of the immediately preceding pair of Point FPNs;

Part 2 - Detailed Provisions

12. CADL FLAGGING

12.1 In relation to each Acceptance, k, for a particular BM Unit, another Acceptance for the same BM Unit is "related" to Acceptance k where such other Acceptance has a Bid-Offer Acceptance Time that falls within the period:

(a) from and including the spot time at the start of the Settlement Period which falls three Settlement Periods prior to the Settlement Period in which the Bid-Offer Acceptance Time for Acceptance k falls, and

(b) to and including the spot time at the end of the Settlement Period which falls three Settlement Periods after the Settlement Period in which the Bid-Offer Acceptance Time for Acceptance k falls.

12.2 In relation to each Acceptance k, another Acceptance is "continuous" with Acceptance k if it is related to Acceptance k, and:

(a) the spot time associated with:

(i) the first Point Acceptance Volume of the Acceptance is earlier, and

(ii) the last Point Acceptance Volume of the Acceptance is not earlier

than the spot time associated with the first Point Acceptance Volume of Acceptance k; or

(b) the spot time associated with:

(i) the last Point Acceptance Volume of the Acceptance is later, and

13. ARBITRAGE TAGGING

13.1 In respect of each Settlement Period, System Actions in the De Minimis Tagged Ranked Sets of System Actions will be defined as Arbitrage Tagged in the following way.

13.2 If, for the highest priced System Sell Action, QSS^g_j (if any) which is not already an Arbitrage Tagged System Sell Action, there exists any System Buy Action QSB^w_j which is not already an Arbitrage Tagged System Buy Action for which it is true that SAP^w_j

\leq

SAP^g_j, then the following procedure will be carried out:

(a) All System Buy Actions for which SAP^w_j

\leq

SAP^g_j will be ranked in price order, lowest priced first.

(b) The set of such System Buy Actions

\{{Q S B}^{w_{1}}_{j}, {Q S B}^{w_{2}}_{j}, \dots, {Q S B}^{w_{w}}_{j}\}

is then a ranked set of System Buy Actions for all of which it is true that SAP^w_j

\leq

SAP^g_j.

\sum_{}^{v} {Q S B}^{w_{v}}_{j} \leq - {Q S S}^{g}_{j}

where

\sum_{}^{v}

is the sum over all ranked System Buy Actions up to v,

the

{Q S B}^{w_{v}}_{j}

will be defined as Arbitrage Tagged and the fraction

φ

{Q S S}^{g}_{j}

which is equal to

\sum_{}^{v} (- {Q S B}^{w_{v}}_{j})

will be defined as Arbitrage Tagged (this fraction may be one (1)).

(d) If:

\sum_{}^{v} {Q S B}^{w_{v}}_{j} \leq - {Q S S}^{g}_{j}

where Σ^vis the sum over all ranked System Buy Actions up to v,

then, if a ranked System Buy Action, v+1 exists, the fraction

γ

{Q S B}^{w_{v + 1}}_{j}

which satisfies

\sum_{}^{v} {Q S B}^{w_{v}}_{j} + γ * {Q S B}^{w_{v + 1}}_{j} = - {Q S S}^{g}_{j}

will also be defined as Arbitrage Tagged and

{Q S S}^{g}_{j}

will be defined as Arbitrage Tagged.

13.3 The process in paragraph 13.2 will then be repeated for the highest priced System Sell Action (if any) that remains not Arbitrage Tagged.

13.4 If, for the purposes of carrying out the procedure in paragraph 13.2:

(a) there are two or more System Sell Actions that are not Arbitrage Tagged, that have the same highest System Action Price, or

(b) there are two or more ranked System Buy Actions that have the same System Action Price

then one of the System Sell Actions or (as the case may be) System Buy Actions will be selected at random.

13.5 If the completed application of paragraphs 13.1 to 13.4 inclusive (the 'initial calculation') would result in there being any System Sell Action or ranked System Buy Action which:

(a) is not Arbitrage Tagged, but

(b) has the same price (other than merely by virtue of being a fraction

(1 - γ)

(1 - φ)

pursuant to the initial calculation) as a System Sell Action or (as the case may be) ranked System Buy Action which is Arbitrage Tagged,

then:

(i) all such System Sell Actions

{Q S S}^{w_{r}}_{j}

or ranked System Buy Actions

{Q S B}^{w_{r}}_{j}

(whether or not Arbitrage Tagged on the basis of the initial calculation) which have the same price are "threshold" System Actions;

(ii) no threshold System Action shall be defined as Arbitrage Tagged pursuant to the relevant provision, but instead the fraction

δ

of each threshold System Sell Action

{Q S S}^{w_{r}}_{j}

or threshold System Buy Action

{Q S B}^{w_{r}}_{j}

which satisfies the following shall be defined as Arbitrage Tagged:

δ * \sum_{}^{w_{r}} {Q S S}^{w_{r}}_{j} = \sum_{}^{w_{r'}} {Q S S}^{w_{r'}}_{j}

or (as the case may be)

δ * \sum_{}^{w_{r}} {Q S B}^{w_{r}}_{j} = \sum_{}^{w_{r'}} {Q S B}^{w_{r'}}_{j}

where

\sum_{}^{w_{r}}

is the sum over all threshold System Sell Actions or (as the case may be) threshold System Buy Actions, and

\sum_{}^{w_{r'}}

is the sum over all threshold System Sell Actions or (as the case may be) threshold System Buy Actions (including a fraction

γ

φ

) which, on the basis of the initial calculation would have been defined as Arbitrage Tagged.

14. NIV TAGGING

14.1 In respect of each Settlement Period, the Net Imbalance Volume will be determined as follows:

NIV_j = Σ_w QSB^w_j – Σ_w (-QSS^w_j)

where Σ_w is the sum over all System Actions in the Classified Ranked Sets.

14.2 In respect of each Settlement Period, System Actions in the Classified Ranked Sets will be defined as NIV Tagged in the following way.

(a) If:

\sum_{}^{w'} (- {Q S S}^{w'}_{j}) = 0

where

\sum_{}^{w'}

is the sum over System Sell Actions in the Classified Ranked Set; or

\sum_{}^{w^{*}} {Q S B}^{w^{*}}_{j} = 0

where

\sum_{}^{w^{*}}

is the sum over System Buy Actions in the Classified Ranked Set:

then no System Actions will be NIV Tagged.

Otherwise, the following procedure will be carried out.

(b) If:

\sum_{}^{w'} ({- Q S S}^{w'}_{j}) \leq \sum_{}^{w^{*}} {Q S B}^{w^{*}}_{j}

where

\sum_{}^{w'}

is the sum over the System Sell Actions and

\sum_{}^{w^{*}}

is the sum over the System Buy Actions in the Classified Ranked Sets,

then all the System Sell Actions (for all values of w’) in the Ranked Set of System Sell Actions will be defined as NIV Tagged.

\sum_{}^{w'} ({- Q S S}^{w'}_{j}) \leq \sum_{}^{w^{*}} {Q S B}^{w^{*}}_{j}

there must exist a number e and a number

φ

(which may be a fraction or zero) for which

\sum_{}^{w'} ({- Q S S}^{w'}_{j}) = \sum_{}^{w_{v > e}^{*}} {Q S B}^{w_{v_{j}}^{*}} + φ * {Q S B}^{w_{e_{j}}^{*}}

where

\sum_{}^{w'}

is the sum over all System Sell Actions and

\sum_{}^{w_{v > e}^{*}}

is the sum over those System Buy Actions for which v is greater than e.

Subject to paragraph (f), each System Buy Action numbered e+1 or higher in the Classified Ranked Set for which this is true will be defined as NIV Tagged. If

φ

is a fraction rather than zero, then the fraction

φ

of the System Buy Action numbered e will be defined as NIV Tagged.

(d) If:

Σ^w’ (-QSS^w’_j) > Σ^w*QSB^w*_j

where Σ^w’ is the sum over the System Sell Actions and Σ^w* is the sum over the System Buy Actions,

then all the System Buy Actions (for all values of w*) in the Ranked Set of System Buy Actions will be defined as NIV Tagged.

(e) Since Σ^w’ (-QSS^w’_j) > Σ^w*QSB^w*_j there must exist a number e and a number

φ

(which may be a fraction or zero) for which

\sum_{}^{w^{*}} {Q S B}^{w^{*}}_{j} = \sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > e}} ({- {Q S S}^{{w'}_{v}}}_{j}) + φ * {- Q S S}^{{w'}_{e}}_{j}

where

\sum_{}^{w^{*}}

is the sum over all System Buy Actions and

\sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > e}}

is the sum over those System Sell Actions for which v is greater than e.

Subject to paragraph (f), each System Sell Action numbered e+1 or higher in the Classified Ranked Set for which this is true will be defined as NIV Tagged. If

φ

is a fraction rather than zero, then the fraction

φ

of the System Sell Action numbered e will be defined as NIV Tagged.

(f) However, for each of paragraphs (c) and (e) (each a "relevant provision") separately, if the application of the relevant provision (the "initial calculation") would result in there being any System Action which:

(1) is not defined as NIV Tagged, but

(2) has the same price (including a NULL price) (other than merely by virtue of being a fraction (1 -

φ

) pursuant to the initial calculation) as, in the case of a System Buy Action, a System Buy Action which is NIV Tagged or, in the case of a System Sell Action, a System Sell Action which is NIV Tagged,

then:

(i) all such System Buy Actions

{Q S B}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j}

or System Sell Actions

{Q S S}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j}

(whether or not NIV Tagged on the basis of the initial calculation) which have the same price are "threshold" System Actions;

(ii) no threshold System Action shall be defined as NIV Tagged pursuant to the relevant provision, but instead the fraction

δ

of each threshold System Buy Action

{Q S B}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j}

or threshold System Sell Action

{Q S S}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j}

which satisfies the following shall be defined as NIV Tagged:

δ * \sum_{}^{{w'}_{r}} {Q S B}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j} = \sum_{}^{{w'}_{r'}} {Q S B}^{{w'}_{r'}}_{j}

or (as the case may be)

δ * \sum_{}^{{w'}_{r}} {Q S S}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j} = \sum_{}^{{w'}_{r'}} {Q S S}^{{w'}_{r'}}_{j}

where

\sum_{}^{{w'}_{r}}

is the sum over all threshold System Buy Actions or (as the case may be) threshold System Sell Actions, and

\sum_{}^{{w'}_{r'}}

is the sum over all threshold System Buy Actions or (as the case may be) threshold System Sell Actions (including a fraction

φ

thereof) which, on the basis of the initial calculation would have been defined as NIV Tagged.

15. REPLACEMENT PRICE

15.1 In respect of each Settlement Period, the Replacement Buy Price or Replacement Sell Price will be determined as follows.

15.2 If NIV is positive:

(a) if there are no Unflagged System Actions in the NIV Tagged Ranked Set, the Replacement Buy Price shall be the Market Price, unless the Market Price is undefined in which case the Replacement Buy Price shall be zero;

(b) otherwise, the Replacement Buy Price shall be determined as:

RBP_j = Σ^w' (QSB^w'_j * SAP^w'_j) / Σ^w' QSB^w'_j

where

Σ^w'is the sum over all Qualifying Unflagged System Actions in the NIV Tagged Ranked Set.

15.3 For the purposes of paragraph 15.2:

(a) if

\sum_{}^{w} {Q S B}^{w}_{j} \leq R P A R

, all Unflagged System Buy Actions in the NIV Tagged Ranked Set will be defined as Qualifying;

(b) if

\sum_{}^{w} {Q S B}^{w}_{j} > R P A R

(i) the Unflagged System Buy Actions in the NIV Tagged Ranked Set shall be ranked in price order, lowest priced first;

(ii) as

\sum_{}^{w} {Q S B}^{w}_{j} > R P A R

there must exist a number f and a number

\emptyset

(which may be a fraction or zero) for which:

R P A R = \sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > f}} {Q S B}^{{w'}_{v}}_{j} + \emptyset * ({Q S B}^{{w'}_{f}}_{j})

where

\sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > f}}

is the sum over those System Buy Actions for which v is greater than f.

(iii) each of the System Buy Actions numbered f+1 or higher in the Ranked Set of Unflagged System Buy Actions for which this is true will be defined as Qualifying. If

\emptyset

is a fraction rather than zero, then the fraction (

\emptyset

) of the System Buy Action numbered f will be defined as Qualifying.

15.4 If NIV is negative or zero:

(a) if there are no Unflagged System Actions in the NIV Tagged Ranked Set the Replacement Sell Price shall be the Market Price, unless the Market Price is undefined in which case the Replacement Sell Price shall be zero;

(b) otherwise, the Replacement Sell Price shall be determined as:

RSP_j = Σ^w' (QSS^w'_j * SAP^w'_j) / Σ^w' QSS^w'_j

where

Σ^w'is the sum over all Qualifying Unflagged System Actions in the NIV Tagged Ranked Set

15.5 For the purposes of paragraph 15.4:

(a) if Σ^w –QSS^w_j £ RPAR, all Unflagged System Sell Actions in the NIV Tagged Ranked Set will be defined as Qualifying;

(b) if Σ^w –QSS^w_j > RPAR:

(i) the Unflagged System Sell Actions in the NIV Tagged Ranked Set shall be ranked in price order, highest priced first;

(ii) as Σ^w -QSS^w_j > RPAR there must exist a number f and a number

\emptyset

(which may be a fraction or zero) for which:

R P A R = \sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > f}} - {Q S S}^{{w'}_{v}}_{j} + \emptyset * ({- Q S S}^{{w'}_{f}}_{j})

where

\sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > f}}

is the sum over those System Sell Actions for which v is greater than f;

(iii) each of the System Sell Actions numbered f+1 or higher in the Ranked Set for which this is true will be defined as Qualifying. If

\emptyset

is a fraction rather than zero, then the fraction (

\emptyset

) of the System Sell Action numbered f will be defined as Qualifying.

16. PAR TAGGING

16.1 In respect of each Settlement Period, System Actions in the Replacement-Priced Ranked Set will be defined as PAR Tagged in the following way:

(a) If:

\sum_{}^{w'} {Q S B}^{w'}_{j} \leq P A R

where

\sum_{}^{w'}

is the sum over the System Buy Actions in the Replacement-Priced Ranked Set

then none of the System Buy Actions (for all values of w') will be defined as PAR Tagged.

(b) If Σ^w' (QSB^w'_j) > PAR there must exist a number f and a number

\emptyset

(which may be a fraction or zero) for which

P A R = \sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > f}} {Q S B}^{{w'}_{v}}_{j} + \emptyset * {Q S B}^{{w'}_{f}}_{j}

where

\sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > f}}

is the sum over those System Buy Actions for which v is greater than f.

Subject to paragraph (e), each System Buy Action numbered 1 to f-1 in the Replacement-Priced Ranked Set for which this is true will be defined as PAR Tagged. If

\emptyset

is a fraction rather than zero, then the fraction

(1 - φ)

of the System Buy Action numbered f will be defined as PAR Tagged.

\sum_{}^{w'} ({- Q S S}^{w'}_{j}) \leq P A R

where

\sum_{}^{w'}

is the sum over the System Sell Actions in the Replacement-Priced Ranked Set

then none of the System Sell Actions (for all values of w') will be defined as PAR Tagged.

(d) If Σ^w' (-QSS^w'_j) > PAR there must exist a number f and a number

\emptyset

(which may be a fraction or zero) for which

P A R = \sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > f}} ({- {Q S S}^{{w'}_{v}}}_{j}) + \emptyset * (- {Q S S}^{{w'}_{f}}_{j})

where

\sum_{}^{{w'}_{v > f}}

is the sum over those System Sell Actions for which v is greater than f.

Subject to paragraph (e), each of the System Sell Actions numbered 1 to f-1 in the Replacement-Priced Ranked Set for which this is true will be defined as PAR Tagged. If

\emptyset

is a fraction rather than zero, then the fraction

(1 - φ)

of the System Sell Action numbered f will be defined as PAR Tagged.

(e) However, for each of paragraphs (b) and (d) (each a "relevant provision") separately, if the application of the relevant provision (the "initial calculation") would result in there being any System Buy Action or System Sell Action which:

(1) is not defined as PAR Tagged, but

(2) has the same price (including a NULL price) (other than merely by virtue of being a fraction

\emptyset

pursuant to the initial calculation) as a System Buy Action or (as the case may be) a System Sell Action which is PAR Tagged,

then:

(i) all such System Buy Actions

{Q S B}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j}

or System Sell Actions

{Q S S}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j}

(whether or not PAR Tagged) which have the same price are "threshold" System Actions;

(ii) no threshold System Action shall be defined PAR Tagged pursuant to the relevant provision, but instead the fraction

δ

of each threshold System Buy Action

{Q S B}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j}

or threshold System Sell Action

which satisfies the following shall be defined as PAR Tagged:

δ * \sum_{}^{{w'}_{r}} {Q S B}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j} = \sum_{}^{{w'}_{r'}} {Q S B}^{{w'}_{r'}}_{j}

or (as the case may be)

δ * \sum_{}^{{w'}_{r}} {Q S S}^{{w'}_{r}}_{j} = \sum_{}^{{w'}_{r'}} {Q S S}^{{w'}_{r'}}_{j}

where

\sum_{}^{{w'}_{r}}

is the sum over all threshold System Buy Actions or (as the case may be) threshold System Sell Actions, and

\sum_{}^{{w'}_{r'}}

is the sum over all threshold System Buy Actions or (as the case may be) threshold System Sell Actions (including a fraction

(1 - φ)

thereof) which, on the basis of the initial calculation would have been defined as PAR Tagged.

Annex T-2: Transmission Loss Factors

1. Introduction

1.1 This Annex T-2 sets out the basis for determining Transmission Loss Factors.

1.2 Transmission Loss Factors will be determined by the TLFA:

(a) by reference to Nodal TLFs determined by the application of the Load Flow Model in accordance with paragraph 8.2; and

(b) in accordance with the further provisions of paragraph 8.

1.3 For the purposes of this Annex T-2:

(a) a "node" is a point on an electrical network at which:

(i) a power flow on to or off the network can occur; or

(ii) two or more circuits (forming part of the network) meet;

(b) a "load flow model" is a mathematical model of an electrical network which represents power flows between pairs of adjacent nodes on the network, and from which nodal TLFs can be determined for each node for given power flows;

(c) a "nodal TLF", in relation to a node on a network and a given power flow at the node, is the rate of change of electrical losses on the network with respect to a change of power flow at that node, with network balance being maintained by the slack node;

(d) the "Load Flow Model" is the load flow model established and adopted by the TLFA in accordance with paragraph 3;

(e) the "slack node" is a node that acts:

(i) for the purposes of a load flow model, as a sink for power flow surpluses or as a source for power flow deficits arising from inaccuracies in the load flow model; and

(ii) in relation to each pair of adjacent nodes in a load flow model, as the reference node for calculating the phase angle of the power flow between the nodes;

(f) in relation to a BSC Year, BSC Spring shall be considered to be the periods 1st April to 31st May and 1st March to 31st March in that BSC Year; and

(g) for the avoidance of doubt, this Annex T-2 shall take effect so as to require to be done anything necessary to be done before the Relevant Implementation Date of Modification P350 in order to give effect to this Annex T-2 with effect on and from the Relevant Implementation Date of Modification P350.

1A. Transmission Loss Factors relating to the BSC Year commencing 1st April 2025

1A.1 For the purposes of this paragraph 1A:

(a) the "Current BSC Year" means the BSC Year commencing 1st April 2025;

(b) the "Preceding BSC Year" means the BSC Year commencing 1st April 2024;

(d) the "TLF verification criteria" means the criteria set out in paragraph 1A.3.

1A.2 By no later than 21 November 2025 the Panel shall determine:

(a) whether the Transmission Loss Factors applicable to the Current BSC Year comply with the TLF verification criteria; and

(b) where those Transmission Loss Factors are not in compliance with the TLF verification criteria, that the Transmission Loss Factors should be recalculated. Any such recalculation shall:

(i) give effect to the Panel’s determination under paragraph 1A.3;

(ii) otherwise be determined in accordance with this Annex T-2; and

(c) a timetable for performing the activities set out in this paragraph 1A (whether or not the Panel has determined that a recalculation is required),

and each Party and the TLFA shall comply with any such instructions and timetable determined by the Panel under this paragraph.

1A.3 The criteria referred to in paragraph 1A.2 are as follows:

(a) that the Seasonal Zonal TLF (TLFZS) values reflect the expected change in total variable losses from a marginal change in demand or generation (averaged across each Season, and across the Nodes in each Zone). The expected change is the change that might reasonably be expected (based on expectations when BSC Modification P350 was approved, and on the TLF values previously used in Settlement); and

(b) to the extent that (a) is not met, whether a recalculation using amended input data is likely to yield TLFZS values that do substantially improve compliance with (a).

1A.4 With effect from the later of 1st April 2025 or the Relevant Implementation Date of Modification P485, but subject to paragraph 1A.5, the Transmission Loss Factors to be used for the purposes of Section T2 shall be the Transmission Loss Factors determined for the Preceding BSC Year.

1A.5 Following a determination by the Panel under paragraph 1A.2 (and, where applicable, the recalculation of Transmission Loss Factors), the Transmission Loss Factors for the Current BSC Year, for the purposes of Section T2, shall be:

(a) where the Panel has determined that no recalculation of Transmission Loss Factors for the Current BSC Year is required, the Transmission Loss Factors originally determined for the Current BSC Year by the TLFA and published on the BSC Website in December 2024; or

(b) where the Panel has required the recalculation of Transmission Loss Factors, the Transmission Loss Factors that have been recalculated pursuant to paragraph 1A.2,

and such Transmission Loss Factors shall take effect from and including the first BSC Season that commences immediately following the Panel’s determination.

1A.6 The Panel’s determinations (including any recalculation of Transmission Loss Factors under paragraph 1A.2) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on all Parties.

2. LFM Specification

2.1 The Panel shall, in consultation with the NETSO and other Parties and the Authority, establish (to form part of the BSC Service Description for the TLFA) a specification ("LFM Specification") for a load flow model for the AC Transmission System, to operate based on the data inputs specified in paragraph 8.2(f), and consistent with the requirements in paragraph 2.2.

2.2 The LFM Specification shall provide for the following assumptions and approximations to be made in the load flow model:

(a) only electrical losses associated with power flows between adjacent nodes (forming part of the network) ("Load Flow Model power flows") will be used in determining nodal TLFs; and

(b) in respect of the power flow between adjacent nodes it is assumed:

(i) there is no Reactive Power component;

(ii) the ratio of the change of power flow over a circuit to the injection of power at a given node is not dependent on the overall electrical load on the network;

(iii) the sine of the voltage phase angle is equal to the phase angle (as measured in radians); and

(iv) the power flow in a circuit is equal to the difference in the voltage phase angles across the circuit multiplied by the circuit susceptance.

3. Load Flow Model

3.1 The TLFA shall establish, and (subject to paragraph 3.2) adopt and from time to time modify, a load flow model which implements and complies with the LFM Specification.

3.2 The TLFA shall not adopt such load flow model or a modification thereof unless the model reviewer has reported to the Panel (in such terms, and as to such materiality, as the Panel may decide) that such model or modification complies with the LFM Specification and the Panel accepts such model or modification; and the TLFA shall not modify the Load Flow Model except as the Panel may instruct or agree.

3.3 The Panel shall appoint, and may from time to time reappoint or replace, an independent expert (the "model reviewer") for the following purposes:

(a) to inspect and test the Load Flow Model and report to the Panel as to the compliance of the Load Flow Model with the LFM Specification or any particular aspect of the LFM Specification:

(i) before the Load Flow Model is first used for the purposes of this Annex T-2;

(ii) upon any modification of the Load Flow Model (whether upon a change to the LFM Specification or otherwise); and

(iii) on any other occasion on which the Panel decides to obtain such a report; and

(b) to verify and report to the Trading Disputes Committee as to whether Nodal TLFs were determined in accordance with the Load Flow Model, on any occasion on which it is necessary to do so for the purposes of any Trading Dispute.

3.4 Any report produced by the model reviewer on Nodal TLFs for the Trading Disputes Committee shall be final and binding on all Parties (save in the case of fraud or manifest error) and if a Party refers a Trading Dispute to arbitration under Section W3.6, then save in the case of fraud or manifest error, the arbitrator(s) appointed in accordance with Section H7 shall not have the power to query, review or in any way revise the model reviewer's report on whether Nodal TLFs were, or were not, determined in accordance with the Load Flow Model.

3.5 BSCCo shall enter into a contract of engagement (for the term for which the model reviewer is appointed) with the model reviewer, which shall, inter alia:

(a) provide terms of reference set or approved by the Panel for the model reviewer; and

(b) require the model reviewer to enter into a confidentiality undertaking in favour of the TLFA in such terms as the Panel shall reasonably require or approve.

3.6 As regards the Load Flow Model:

(a) the TLFA shall deposit a copy of the Load Flow Model in escrow with an escrow agent in such form and on such terms and conditions as BSCCo may require; and

(b) the TLFA shall be responsible for the payment of all fees due to the escrow agent.

3.7 The TLFA shall be required to make the Load Flow Model (and any details thereof) available to the model reviewer and the BSC Auditor (and as may be required by the arbitral tribunal in connection with any arbitration); but shall not be required to make available or disclose the Load Flow Model or details thereof to the Panel, any Panel Committee or Parties other than to BSCCo as required for the provision of the reports set out in Table 9 in Annex V-1 or in accordance with the release terms included in the escrow agreement pursuant to paragraph 3.6.

3.8 Subject to paragraph 3.4, once the Load Flow Model (or any modification thereof) has been adopted by the TLFA, Nodal TLFs which are properly determined by the Load Flow Model shall be definitive; and accordingly:

(a) (without prejudice to any question as to whether such Nodal TLFs were in fact properly determined) no Party may challenge or question on any grounds the validity of any Nodal TLF which was so determined; and

(b) any modification of the Load Flow Model shall have effect only prospectively, that is for the purposes of determining Transmission Loss Factors in respect of BSC Years for which (at the time the modification was made) Transmission Loss Factors have not already been determined in accordance with paragraph 8.

3.9 For the purposes of paragraph 3.8(a), Nodal TLFs are properly determined if they are determined by and only by the application of the Load Flow Model on the basis of data input in compliance with the further provisions of this Annex T-2.
