1 Review Group 264 Rules & Options Analysis for BSSOQ Methodology Changes Post MOD th September 2009

2 Rule & Options Analysis - Background  xoserve tasked with investigating :  Scenarios specifically concerning reducing booked capacity and enabling DM SOQ to be reflective of this reduction  As the DM SOQ is limited by not being less than the BSSOQ:  Investigate current rules and possible options for changing the derivation and timescales applied to the BSSOQ regime  Enable the DM BSSOQ and subsequent DM SOQ to be more reflective of current capacity requirements  Possibility to reduce DM SOQ more easily / frequently

3 Rule & Options Analysis - Context  BSSOQ rules and processes are defined in UNC and UK Link  Changes to BSSOQ regime may require changes to UNC and systems  Timescales and changes therefore are considered to be longer term rather than short term (post winter 2010)  As a result, transitional relief options (options with ability to implement in short term) are available but limited  Defining Rules & Options analysis is still ongoing  Details presented give an indication of options being investigated and indicative details  Next stages re: progress to be determined

4 Rule & Options Analysis - Current BSSOQ Process  BSSOQ reviewed during June each year  Represents peak day consumption for the previous winter (Oct – May)  New BSSOQ value applied 1 st October  DM SOQ can be reduced during capacity reduction period (CRP: Oct – Jan)  DM SOQ cannot be confirmed lower than the BSSOQ  During the BSSOQ Review, INT sites can have an increased BSSOQ  Revision of the BSSOQ can take up to 2 years, therefore limiting the ability to reduce the DM SOQ

5 Rule & Options Analysis – Considerations Analysis has considered the following:  Changes to BSSOQ regime should not introduce greater volatility in BSSOQ or DMSOQ where demand is stable  i.e. BSSOQ should reflect consumptions that contain all winter months to identify the peak  Reasonable constraints and incentives against unreasonable capacity profiling should be maintained  i.e. restrict ability to increase and decrease DM SOQ at any time  Provide a reflective SOQ and SHQ to DN’s that is fit for purpose (supply security / system planning)  Where BSSOQ timings have been changed CRP timings would also need to be changed to allow benefit to be realised

6 Rule & Options Analysis – Option A  Change timing of annual BSSOQ Review and CRP  Shorten BSSOQ period to run from Oct 1 st to Mar 31 st  CRP changed to Apr 1 st to Nov 1 st (extended from 4 to 8 months)  Shortens ‘Winter’ period (removes April and May: estimate 35 sites impacted)  Allows quicker review and change of BSSOQ post winter period  Aligns charge rate impact of BSSOQ with other charge rate changes  Discontinue manual review of BSSOQ calculation (minimal impact) and update revised BSSOQ effective from April 1 st  BSSOQ unchanged until next April (subject to appeals / ratchets)  Permit BSSOQ appeals based on more accurate historic data

7 Rule & Options Analysis – Option A Cont.  Where demand is changing:  The Shipper could reduce their DMSOQ in April to new BSSOQ giving earlier reduction in charges / revenue by 6 months  FIRM – profiling as now, the Shipper could reduce DMSOQ in April and increase in October to accommodate ratchet incentives applying  INT – as no ratchet applies, behaviour will be similar to now (maintain April DMSOQ throughout)  Option would shift when Shippers will reduce their DMSOQ (from Oct to Apr) but should not alter the limited ability to profile DMSOQ  Costs / Timescales: £57k to £80k  Feasible for April 2011

8 Rule & Options Analysis – Option B  Two BSSOQ Updates per year using shorter BSSOQ period  1: Oct – Update BSSOQ based on UWP from Jan to May  2: Apr – Update BSSOQ based on UWP from Oct to Feb  CRP would start in April, end in mid-winter  Where demand is changing:  Shipper could reduce DMSOQ in Apr and Oct to new BSSOQ giving earlier reduction in charges / revenue by 6 months and every 6 months  BUT – could introduce additional within year fluctuations in BSSOQ as both reviews do not consider full winter period (misses some winter months)  Costs / Timescales: £70k to £100k  Not considered to be feasible due to missing winter period

9 Rule & Options Analysis – Option C  Two BSSOQ Updates per year using a full set of winter consumption periods  1. Oct – BSSOQ based on UWP from Oct previous year to May current year  2. Apr – BSSOQ based on UWP from Mar previous year to Feb current year  CRP would start in April, end in mid-winter  UWP based on periods that contain all winter months  Where demand is changing:  Shipper could reduce DMSOQ in Apr and Oct to new BSSOQ giving earlier reduction in charges / revenue by 6 months and every 6 months  Could introduce additional within year fluctuations in BSSOQ but only where actual peak demand is changing  Costs / Timescales: £70k to £100k (as per Option B)  Feasible for April 2011

10 Rule & Options Analysis – Option D  Rolling BSSOQ Review  Each month update BSSOQ based on peak consumption from the most recent period that contains all winter months (in last 12 months)  CRP would continue all year (to enable benefit of BSSOQ change)  Where demand is changing:  The BSSOQ would be reflective of most recent peak demand  Could introduce fluctuations in BSSOQ and DM SOQ throughout the year  Profiling could occur but would have to be undertaken within the month.  Costs / Timescales; As Option C (£70k to £100k), anticipated to be more expensive due to additional system changes & risks due to update frequency  Possible long term Option

11 Rule & Options Analysis – Radical Options  Radical Options - with more significant issues requiring investigation:  1. Re-define BSSOQ as average winter day consumption of previous gas year  2. Re-define the BSSOQ as AQ / 365  Option 1 & 2 allow greater reduction / flexibility in SOQ due to a lower BSSOQ  3. Discontinue or redefine the BSSOQ before MOD90 is implemented  Is BSSOQ value required?  Appropriate mechanisms need to be in place to maintain integrity of DMSOQ

12 Possible Analysis – Transitional Relief – Option  Transitional / short term relief options are limited and would require investigation of feasibility, costs and appropriateness  Preferred option has been stated here  Require minimal system change & utilise current processes  Retrospective Rebate – where demand has been significantly below the prevailing BSSOQ for at least 12 consecutive months, issue a rebate  Based on difference between BSSOQ and peak daily consumption from 12 month period  And where Shipper has also retrospectively reduced their DMSOQ to the BSSOQ in last 12 months  Validate changes to monitor inappropriate behaviour

13 Rule & Options Analysis – Next Steps  Additional areas to be considered?  Limited transitional / short term relief options available – progress?  Issue with feasibility and appropriateness of long term options – progress?
