Governance Route: Standard 

Impacts:

* Low: National Grid: Changes will be required to the BSUoS billing systems to tag out the appropriate metered import volumes for the purpose of the BSUoS charging base. Suppliers: The reduced recovery of BSUoS charges from storage operators will need to be recovered from the balance of parties liable to BSUoS. We estimate the impact to be small: circa 3.5TWh of pumping = circa1.5% of supply liable for BSUoS = circa 0.75% of total BSUoS bill.

 Implemented: 1 April 2021
