23 The operational costs levy

(1) An electricity supplier must make a payment (“an operational cost payment”) to the CFD counterparty for each day that supplier makes an electricity supply during an operational cost period. (2) The amount of an operational cost payment to be paid by a supplier in respect of a day is equal to the amount of electricity supplied by that supplier on that day , less any amount of EII excluded electricity supplied by that supplier on that day, multiplied by the operational levy rate. (3) The CFD counterparty must, as soon as reasonably practicable after the BSCCo has carried out an Initial Volume Allocation Run in respect of a day in an operational cost period, issue a notice to each electricity supplier who supplied electricity on that day stating the operational cost payment which the supplier to whom the notice is issued must pay in respect of that day. (4) An electricity supplier must make an operational cost payment in respect of a day by the operational cost payment date in relation to that payment. (5) The operational cost payment date in relation to an operational cost payment is— (a) in relation to an operational cost payment due in respect of any day in the first operational cost period, the 5th working day after the CFD counterparty has issued a notice under paragraph (3) to the supplier who must make that payment in respect of every operational cost payment due from that supplier in respect of that period; (b) in relation to an operational cost payment due in respect of a day in any other operational cost period, the 5th working day after the day on which the CFD counterparty has issued a notice under paragraph (3) to the supplier who must make that payment. (6) Where an electricity supplier fails to make an operational cost payment by the operational cost payment date in relation to that payment, that supplier must pay the CFD counterparty simple interest on any unpaid amount at the rate specified in regulation 35(1) from the day after the operational cost payment date. (7) For the purposes of this regulation— (a) the operational levy rate is as follows— (i) £0.1089 per megawatt hour for any day during the operational cost period that begins on 1st April 2025; (ii) £0.1463 per megawatt hour for any day during the operational cost period that begins on 1st April 2026; (iii) £0.1714 per megawatt hour for any day during the operational cost period that begins on 1st April 2027; (iv) £0.1900 per megawatt hour for any day during the operational cost period that begins on 1st April 2028 or during any subsequent operational cost period; and (b) the amount of electricity supplied by an electricity supplier on a particular day is the amount of electricity which the BSCCo determines, on the basis of an Initial Volume Allocation Run carried out in relation to that day, as the amount of electricity which that supplier supplied on that day.

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

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.
