Apologies Douglas Alexander 26 April 2012
135/04 CP Progression – CP1368 Melinda Anderson 26 April 2012
CP1368 Background This CP was raised by ELEXON and proposes a number of changes to provide further clarification and/or resolve operational issues related to Unmetered Supplies (UMS) registered in the Supplier Meter Registration Service (SMRS). What is the issue? New equipment and processes have come into the UMS arena and the relevant BSCPs need to be changed to accurately reflect this.
Solution and consultation These changes have been directed by the SVG to ensure that new equipment and processes are defined/carried out under the BSC. CP1368 was issued for participant Impact Assessment via CPC00709. We received seven responses all of which agreed with the changes. One respondent suggested some additional changes but has agreed to seek guidance from the UMSUG.
Recommendations The PAB is invited to: • ENDORSE the proposed amendments to BSCP520; • ENDORSE CP1368 for implementation on 29 November 2012, as part of the November 2012 Release.
