A GOOD THING FOR MY BUSINESS?

In short: yes. P272 will give all 160,000 affected meters more accurate billing and energy consumption data. You can purchase and use energy more efficiently, and save money as a result. The bills you currently receive are in fact based on how much you use, but not when you use it – P272 changes that with new time-of-use tariffs.

The costs of buying and transporting electricity vary significantly over the day. BSC Modification P272 encourages suppliers to offer new time-of-use tariffs, where the price varies according to the time of day that electricity is used.

When you choose a time-of-use tariff, you can make big savings on bills by using electricity when it is cheapest, for example, when demand is lower or when low-cost renewable electricity is available.

Brief Refresher: What are BSC P272 and P322 Exactly?

Balancing and settlement code (BSC) Modifications P272 and P322 change the way electricity suppliers buy energy, and pay to transport it to some business customers. As part of the drive to ensure bills are more reflective of energy usage, Ofgem are implementing a new BSC regulation known as P272.

BSC P272 and BSC Modification P322 only affect meter profile classes 05-08 that have AMR / Smart meters installed.
