Aim and content of the session

■ ELEXON has produced an IS Strategy for taking forward the BSC Systems. This

reflects:

– the status of our aging systems – the changes that are projected for the market and the BSC – the capabilities of current technologies ■ Fundamental to any transformation and central to any IS Strategy is the need to

maintain operational integrity of settlement

■ The aim of this session is to: –Share the current work with the Panel, highlighting where Panel input would

be required

–Discuss the Panel’s thoughts on the IS Strategy

If the Panel have any questions in the meantime please contact Chris Braley, chris.braley@elexon.co.uk, 07551124612

What are the I S drivers

In considering how to take forward the IS estate we have consolidated the key drivers and considered how well the IS estate meets these today and why and how it should address these drivers in the future.

Minimising risk of process failure and data quality issues

Operational Risk

Economy & Efficiency of

  • perating the service

Value for money

Maximising speed and minimising cost of introducing new services and functionality

Flexibility

Maximising accessibility to data and simplifying processes

Customer Experience

Enabling us to explore new ideas

Market Leadership

We have captured the issues for each service and categorised them in terms of the IS drivers discussed on the previous page. Once the issues were grouped together we gave the service an overall RAG (red, amber, green) status based on the overall impact of these issues on the service in qualitative terms, and by the perceived opportunity for improvement. The diagram below summarizes this analysis.

To understand what the future might look like we detailed out the issues of each service at a high level and understood the capabilities and technology needed to address them. Below is an example of the Reporting and Data service. An overview of the target for all future services is provided in the next slide.

The following outlines the process used to define the roadmap. In particular a number of assessments were carried out (see 1-5 in the diagram below) to enable us to identify grouped activities. In addition a number of principles were also used in guiding the formulation of the

  • roadmap. A selection of the inputs which are most relevant to the Panel are further explained on the following slides.

For further information on how service benefits and complexity has been derived please see Appendix A1 & A2.

BSC Panel– IS Strategy Briefing November 2014 14

The roadmap was initially shaped by the priority of required improvements to the services. Each of the services to be transformed within the scope IS Strategy has been prioritised in terms of the overall benefits it delivers across all IS drivers (y axis) and in terms of the complexity of the delivering the change required (x axis). This analysis and been used to prioritise the delivery of the services providing the most benefit

  • first. Note that both benefits and complexity have been assessed based on qualitative rather than quantitative inputs and feedback.

SLIDE 15

Regulatory changes in 2014 - 2016 will be delivered from our existing IS estate, unless we have invested in service transformation (i.e. BMRS and BPR). Regulatory changes in 2016 – 2018 are driven by smart enabled changes and reducing settlement timescales. The focus is on the services of Registration, Collect Data and Assurance. These are key enablers in reducing settlement timescales. Central registration, data collection and data aggregation plus dynamic switching of smart meters are also likely. There is also a noticeable ‘low change’ window around the key settlement services of imbalance calculations & pricing, billing, and reporting. All remaining services need to be transformed for the wider reforms targeted for 2020.

The anticipated impact of regulation has been assessed. The table below sets out the known upcoming regulatory changes and how they are expected to impact on ELEXON’ services. The findings drawn are drawn from information currently available, however Regulation and its impact on the IS Roadmap should be reviewed on a periodic and ongoing basis. Note the ‘low change’ window afforded in 2016 – 2018.

a change to the BSC. A CSD is potentially required for streamlining of the process Collect & Manage Data Yes Yes – Must Change to BSC likely due to change in process Imbalance, prices & costs No Yes - Probable Panel approval for new system required.

a change to the BSC. A CSD is potentially required for streamlining of the process Reporting & Data Probable Yes – Must Change to the BSC is probable in order to remove prescriptions with the current service. CSD changes would support further streamlining Customer Support No May be Change Probable May be Changes to Section F of BSC are likely. Change to BSCP40 (change management) is also slikely Assurance Probable Yes – must Probably yes for some areas like compliance and in particular for the taking action process, no for others Thought Leadership No No
