1 Government proposes to define as Core sources the electricity measured by half hourly settled meters, both those half hourly settled electricity meters which are required to be installed by electricity suppliers as set out in the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) (20), and also any half hourly settled electricity meters installed by the customer on a voluntary basis.

Cite <blockquote cite='http://writetoreply.org/carbon/2009/03/12/4711-half-hourly-settled-meters/#2'>Paragraph 1, Schedule 8 the Draft Order defines half hourly settled meters as those meters that fulfil two purposes. The first purpose is to measure electricity supplied to a customer for billing purposes. The second purpose is for suppliers to comply with the Balancing and Settlement Code. More specifically, these ‘half hourly settled’ meters measure electricity transmitted to a supplier (and used as a result of its supply) for balancing and settlement purposes (i.e. to ensure that there is a balance between the amounts of wholesale electricity generated and consumed in a particular period, and the settlement of amounts due in respect of any imbalance).</blockquote> Permalink:

Additionally, for sites where maximum demand metering is not installed, the Supplier has an obligation to identify 100 kW premises where the Profile of a Customer‟s electrical demand implies that an average of the maximum monthly electrical demand exceeds 100 kW.
