GC0042 Information on Embedded Small
Power Stations and Impact on Demand
 The Workgroup determined that further information than what is
currently provided under PC.A.4.3.2 is required to enable National
Grid to efficiently plan and securely operate the transmission system.
 A list of additional requirements was agreed upon for each Embedded
Small Power Stations (ESPS) of 1 MW and above
 The Distribution code will be be reviewed to enable the DNOs to
capture any additional information that they are currently not entitled
to receive
 Implementation date for the above information to be submitted was
agreed to be the Calendar Week 24 data submission beginning 2015.
 Workgroup Report was presented at the September GCRP.

 The Workgroup was tasked with assessing the existing capabilities of
the industry to implement Demand Control instructions and evaluate
whether current requirements are still fit for purpose.
 The Workgroup determined and assessed:
 The need for, and requirements of, Demand Control Instructions
 Existing capabilities of the DNOs to implement Demand Control
Instructions
 The costs, benefits and risks of any actions necessary to ensure that
DNOs can implement the required Demand Control Instructions in the
required timescales under future system requirements

Tel: 020 7432 3014
What is the DCUSA?
•
The Distribution Connection and Use of System Agreement is a
multi-party contract between the licensed electricity distributors,
suppliers and generators of Great Britain
•
The DCUSA defines the rules for connecting and using the UK’s
electricity network distribution systems
•
It is essentially a legal contract which commenced on 6 October
2006
•
Parties to the DCUSA include: DNOs, Suppliers, IDNOs, DG, Gas
Suppliers and OTSO

Overview of Common Distribution Charging
Methodologies in DCUSA Open Governance CDCM and EDCM
•
The governance and change management processes for the Common Distribution Charging
Methodology (CDCM) were implemented into the DCUSA on 01 January 2010.
•
The governance and change management processes for the EHV Distribution Charging
Methodology (EDCM) (import) were implemented into the DCUSA on 01 April 2012.
•
The governance and change management processes for the Common Connection Charging
Methodology (CCCM) were implemented on 30 October 2012.
•
The governance and change management processes for the EDCM (export) were implemented
on 01 April 2013.
•
As the methodologies will be common among all DNOs, this brings about many improvements,
such as:
–
More transparency, and as the complexities of the methodologies have been agreed,
dialogue among all Parties have to be taken into account for any change; and
–
When there is a change brought about by any Party, all DNOs must implement it and model
the changes.
The National Terms of Connection
•
Unless otherwise agreed, the NTC is the connection agreement between the end
user and the distributor
•
When you enter into your electricity supply contract with your supplier, you are also
entering into a connection agreement with your electricity network operator on
these terms

The Supplier Obligation
and Setting CfD
Payments
Mark Bygraves, Director of Strategy
and Development
18 October 2013
Content
• Background to ELEXON and to our CfD Settlement Agent role
• How is Generator CfD payment and Supplier Obligation calculated
• How is Supplier Obligation collected in the meantime (Fixed vs
Variable Levy)
• Backstops to provide certainty of payment to Generators
• Next Steps
64
ELEXON and our Settlement Agent Role
•
ELEXON’s existing balancing and settlement role
•
•
ELEXON’s new Settlement Agent (SA) role for EMR
•
•
•
Role driven by contract with CP, Supplier Obligation Regulations and CfD Ts&Cs
DECC publications:
•
•
65
April 2013 DECC confirmed intention to appoint ELEXON as SA for CfD & CM
DECC: “ELEXON’s expertise and the fact that it already collects and processes
the data that will be required for this work puts it in a unique position in the
electricity market to fulfil the role as settlement agent for EMR”
SA role to be separate from BSC role (both not for profit)
•
•
We make sure that payment for imbalances in wholesale electricity supply and
demand is settled accurately, fairly and efficiently

£/MWh
“Fixed”
POA Levy
CP derives annual Fixed Rate
Levy expressed in £/MWh
Really a Payment on Account
or POA
• Fixed POA Levy £/MWh designed to provide Suppliers with some
certainty on costs to include in customer tariffs
• Suppliers charged using POA x Supplier’s actual Gross Demand for
each HH (aggregated into daily billing periods)
• Billing period of 1 day; invoiced 7 days after; payable within 5 days
• CP also estimates operating costs of CP (incl SA) to derive separate
Operating Cost Levy (£/MWh)
70
Backstops to Ensure Certainty of Funds to
Pay Generators
CP can withhold payments to Suppliers if insufficient funds. So:
Reserve Fund
Collateral
• To cover Supplier Default
• Cash and Letters of Credit, not PCG
• Amount based on time between billing period and payment for that period
Insolvency
Reserve Fund
• Cash and Letters of Credit, not PCG
• Called upon when Suppliers’ collateral exhausted
• Lump sum paid annually, amount based on potential exposure if small Supplier(s) default
Mutualisation
• Used to recover unpaid levy of defaulting Supplier(s)
• Tops up Insolvency Fund
• From non insolvent Suppliers, based on market share at time of mutualisation
SOLR/ESCA
71
• Acts as working capital and held in cash
• Lump sum determined by CP’s model, paid annually and reconciled
• Suppliers pay based on market share
• Supplier of Last Resort – effective mainly to cover small Suppliers
• Energy Supply Company Administration regime – appointment of energy administrator to
run the Supplier
Next Steps
• ELEXON is currently:
• Identifying requirements of the settlement system
• Identifying changes to BSC to provide relevant information to SA
• Preparing to establish new EMR SA business
• Further information on Supplier Obligation in October consultation
• Primary legislation in force this winter and Secondary Regulations
in force “July 2014”*; Payments ready to flow “End 2014”*

Application of ENCs to GB Codes
 European Network Codes due to become law during
2014 in a phased manner
 GB will have 18 months – 3 years to demonstrate
compliance (varies code-by-code)
 Alignment with GB Codes will aid application and
compliance
 GB Code panels will retain their role to make changes
to individual codes – strong feedback from all parties
was to use existing processes
 A complex programme with a significant risk, which
needs cross-code coordination
90
European Code Coordination Application Forum
 Advises the Code Panels on coordination of
application of European Network Codes to GB
Codes
 No firm legal or governance role
 Constituted as a joint standing group of 7 code
panels
 Grid Code, CUSC, BSC, SQSS, STC, D-Code,
DCUSA
 Membership:
 7 industry members representing Code Panels
 National Grid, Consumer Futures, DECC, Ofgem
 Chair appointed by DECC and Ofgem
91
Summary
 European Codes will supersede GB Codes
 Network Codes become EU Law ‘by 2014’
 Codes have varying compliance periods (typically 2014-17)
 Significant workload and changes over the next few years
 Complete development of Codes
 Apply them to the GB Framework
 Implement changes to the GB Operations and Market
 Ample opportunity to get your thoughts heard
 JESG / ENTSO-E consultations /DECC-Ofgem stakeholder
group
