50 Reducing capacity payments: failure to demonstrate satisfactory performance

(1) This regulation applies in relation to a capacity committed CMU (“CMU i”) and a delivery year (“year X”) if— (a) a satisfactory performance requirement applies in respect of CMU i in year X; and (b) the requirement has not been met by 30th April in year X. (2) If, by the end of a relevant month, the capacity provider in respect of CMU i (“C”) has not complied with the satisfactory performance requirement, no monthly capacity payment is to be paid in respect of CMU i for that month. (2A) If C complies with the satisfactory performance requirement during May in year X, no monthly capacity payment is to be paid in respect of CMU i for that month. (3) If C complies with the satisfactory performance requirement during a relevant month other than May, the Settlement Body must ensure that the credit which would otherwise be payable to C in respect of the monthly capacity payment for CMU i for that month is reduced by the proportion AB, where— (a) A is the number of days in the relevant month before the day on which C complies with the satisfactory performance requirement; and (b) B is the number of days in the relevant month. (4) If C has not complied with the satisfactory performance requirement by the end of year X— (a) C must repay to the Settlement Body all capacity payments made in respect of CMU i and year X less the total amount of any capacity provider penalty charges that C has paid in respect of CMU i and year X; and (b) the Settlement Body must, as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of year X, issue an invoice to C for the amount due under sub-paragraph (a). (5) The Settlement Body must— (a) if paragraph (2) or paragraph (2A) applies, give a notice to C which states that no monthly capacity payment is to be paid in respect of CMU i for the relevant month, and states the reason; (b) if paragraph (3) applies, ensure that the credit note issued to C for the relevant month states the amount by which the credit is reduced, and states the reason; (c) if paragraph (4) applies, ensure that the invoice issued to C under paragraph (4)(b) states the reason for the issue of the invoice. (6) In this regulation— “extended performance” has the meaning given in the Rules; “relevant month” means May, June, July, August or September in year X; “satisfactory performance day” has the meaning given in the Rules; “satisfactory performance requirement” means a requirement in capacity market rules for a capacity provider to demonstrate satisfactory performance days or extend performance during a satisfactory performance day in respect of a capacity committed CMU.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
