This document is the third in a series of three consultations to develop a Balancing and Settlement Code as part of the British Electricity Trading and Transmission Arrangements (BETTA). In this document:

  • Ofgem/DTI conclude on the issues raised in the second consultation paper on a GB BSC that was issued in June 2003;
  • the timetable and process for the further development of the GB BSC is set out;
  • the modifications that have been introduced to the England and Wales BSC since the version of the BSC specified in the second GB BSC consultation are listed and views are invited on their inclusion in the GB BSC; and
  • the second draft of the proposed legal text for a GB BSC is set out and views are invited on this text.

The document comprises two volumes. Volume 1 summarises the issues that were consulted upon in the second GB BSC consultation, the responses received and Ofgem/DTI's conclusions. It also identifies those modifications to the England and Wales BSC which have been approved since the second GB BSC consultation and sets out Ofgem/DTI's proposals for their inclusion or otherwise. Finally it identifies the changes between the England and Wales BSC as at 11 November 2003 and the amended proposed text of the GB BSC contained in Volume 2 as well as the differences between the amended legal text contained in Volume 2 and the legal text as contained in the second GB BSC consultation.

The sections of the GB BSC text have been batched into four smaller files (Parts 1 to 4) for ease of access. The files contain the following elements:

  • Part 1 - Title page, Index and Sections A to H;
  • Part 2 - Sections J to O;
  • Part 3 - Sections P to S (including Annexes S1 and S2); and
  • Part 4 - Sections T to X (including Annexes X1 and X2) and the Pool Supplement.
