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.
3
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.
