Final consultation
Governance Review changes
» 6 areas covered at previous forums:
• Ofgem Significant Code Reviews (SCRs) for important changes (which may affect more than one code)
• Panel self-governance for minor „non-material‟ changes
• „Send back‟ process if Panel‟s report lacks information for Ofgem to make a decision
• Charging Methodologies under normal CUSC/DCUSA code change processes (Parties can raise changes)
• Code Administrators to adhere to new Code of Practice
• Workgroups and Panels to assess environmental impacts of changes (all codes)
Governance Review changes
» 1 new area of change:
• SCR code changes should have 2/3rds majority support of Panel Members to be recommended for approval
• Uncertain if inconsistent with Energy Act
» The 7 areas impact all users of the change process - not just Proposers and Panels
» Ofgem‟s review aims:
» Transparency, flexibility, accessibility, accountability, effectiveness and alignment of code change processes

Cracking the consultationsWhat we want to know and why
» Working groups, Panels and Ofgem need to know:
• The benefits and drawbacks of a change (and their materiality)
• Who a change affects and how (impacts, costs, lead times)
» This information is used to:
• Decide whether to make a change
• Set Implementation Dates

Common myths dispelled (1 of 5)
“I‟m a small Party.
There‟s no point responding to consultations because my
views won‟t count.
It‟s a numbers game –whatever the Big 6 say
goes.”
Panel considers strength of argument,
not numbers
Small Party responses stand out – workgroups, Panel and Ofgem
take notice
Common myths dispelled (2 of 5)
“It‟s not worth spending time and effort now to work out my impacts and costs.
I‟ll do this later if the change is approved.”
A risky strategy! If you can‟t make the Implementation Date you could be left non-compliant with your
obligations
A missed opportunity! Providing this information earlier could
influence whether the change is approved, its solution and its Implementation Date
Common myths dispelled (3 of 5)
“If I provide costs my competitors will see them, and I‟ll be at a commercial
disadvantage”
It‟s helpful to workgroups and the Panel to see all costs
We‟d rather get confidential costs than no costs at all!
But you can provide confidential info which
only Ofgem sees
Common myths dispelled (4 of 5)
“I don‟t have time to fill in a response form, answer all the questions or refer to
Applicable Objective X – it‟s too bureaucratic”
We use forms to highlight specific areas where the workgroup/Panel wants
your views
If you‟re pushed for time, or unsure which Objective to use, just give us your general views (an email will do)
We try to ask „Yes/No‟ questions so we can be
sure of your views
We‟d rather get your unpolished thoughts
than no views!
Common myths dispelled (5 of 5)
“I don‟t have time to reply to both the workgroup and
final consultations.
It‟s better to just respond to the final one so the Panel and Ofgem see my views”
The Panel and Ofgem see views from each
consultation – those from earlier on aren‟t “lost”
You therefore have more opportunity to influence a change by responding to
the workgroup‟s consultation
It‟s only the workgroup that can alter the solution
How can we make it easier for you to respond?
» ELEXON‟s thinking about how we can engage better with you on BSC change
» Some ideas include:
• A regular, proactive „Change Corner‟ in Newscast
• Website „Modcasts‟ explaining each change
• Teleconferences to support each consultation
» Email suggestions to [email protected]
• We‟ll consider anything within the limits of practicality!

Ofgem’s Governance ReviewOverview of the CUSC and BSC changes to deliver our new Licence obligations
The common CUSC/BSC change process
„Pre-change‟ process
Change raised
Panel decision on progression
Industry consultation
Panel final report to Ofgem
Ofgem decision to approve or
reject
Appeal to Competition Commission
Workgroup assessment
Urgent process
(if Ofgem decision differs from Panel recommendation and no effect on security of supply)
Impact of Governance Review
» Still one common change process
» But now has 3-tier governance:
• Initial Panel „filter‟ to determine which tier to use for a change
• A change can switch tiers during its progression if needed
• Each tier uses the same basic process with some steps added/removed
New 3-tier change governance
Change raised
Does it relate to an Ofgem
SCR?
Does it have a material
effect?
Special governance
(NEW)
Normal governance (as now)
Self-governance
(NEW)
Yes

No
No

Self-governance
(NEW)
Yes

No
No
Highest impact
Lowest impact
Indust

Code of Practice and environmental assessment obligations apply to all 3 tiers (though unlikely a self-governance change would impact emissions)
„Send back‟ process can be used for SCR and normal changes (and self-governance changes if appealed to Ofgem)
BSC/CUSC process for SCR changes (P262/CAP183)
„Pre-change‟ process
Change raised
Panel decision on progression
Industry consultation
Panel final report to Ofgem
Ofgem decision to approve or

Ofgem SCR process
Change raised
Panel decision on progression
Industry consultation
Panel final report to Ofgem
Ofgem decision to approve or
reject
Appeal to Competition Commission
Workgroup assessment
Urgent process

Ofgem SCR process
Change raised
Panel decision on progression
Industry consultation
Panel final report to Ofgem

Ofgem SCR process
Change raised
Panel decision on progression
Industry consultation
Panel final report to Ofgem
Ofgem decision to approve or
reject

„Pre-change‟ process
Change raised
Industry consultation
Panel final report to Ofgem
Ofgem decision to approve or
reject
