(2) If paragraph (1) applies, the Settlement Body must ensure that the credit otherwise payable to C is reduced— (a) by the aggregate amount of any outstanding relevant expenditure and outstanding relevant benefit; or (b) to nil, if the aggregate amount of any outstanding relevant expenditure and outstanding relevant benefit is equal to or greater than the amount of the credit. (3) The Settlement Body must ensure that the credit note issued to C states the amount by which the credit is reduced, and the reason for the reduction. (3A) This paragraph applies where— (a) the aggregate amount of any outstanding relevant expenditure and outstanding relevant benefit (“aggregate outstanding amount”) in respect of CMU i is greater than nil; and (b) there are no further capacity payments in respect of CMU i which the Settlement Body would be required to reduce under paragraph (2) to offset this aggregate outstanding amount. (3B) Where paragraph (3A) applies— (a) C is liable to pay to the Settlement Body an amount equal to the lesser of— (i) the aggregate outstanding amount; or (ii) the total amount of all the capacity payments paid to C in respect of CMU i, less the amount of any repayment of these capacity payments by C to the Settlement Body under regulation 43B, 43C or 50; and (b) the Settlement Body must, as soon as reasonably practicable after paragraph (3A) becomes applicable, issue to C an invoice for the amount C is liable to pay under sub-paragraph (a).
