This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum
6.—(1) An electricity supplier (“S”) must pay a capacity market supplier charge to the Settlement Body in respect of a delivery year (“year X”), if S supplies electricity to premises in Great Britain in the period commencing with 1st November and ending with the last day of February in year X, or any part of that period.
(2) The capacity market supplier charge is a charge to meet the cost of making capacity payments to capacity providers under the Principal Regulations, calculated in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of Schedule 1.
(3) Where, under regulation 4, S provided to the Settlement Body a forecast of net demand for year X (other than a forecast of zero net demand) S must make a monthly payment to the Settlement Body in each month of year X on account of its liability under paragraph (1) (a “monthly capacity market supplier charge”).
(4) Where, in respect of year X—
(a)S supplies electricity as mentioned in paragraph (1), but
(b)S did not provide to the Settlement Body a forecast as mentioned in paragraph (3) because it was not an electricity supplier on the 1st June before the start of year X,
S must pay a monthly capacity market supplier charge to the Settlement Body in each month of year X for which the calculation of such charges is carried out using actual supplier shares.
(5) The Settlement Body must, by no later than the first working day of each month of year X (“month M”)—
(a)determine the amount of the monthly capacity market supplier charge payable by each electricity supplier for month M; and
(b)issue to each electricity supplier an invoice for the amount determined for that supplier under sub-paragraph (a) and (where necessary) under regulation 7(3).
(6) The amount payable by S under paragraph (5)(a) is the amount of MCMSCsm calculated for S under paragraph 4 of Schedule 1.
(7) If the amount of the capacity market supplier charge payable under paragraph (1) by S for year X is greater or less than the total of the monthly capacity market supplier charges paid by S for each month of year X, the difference is to be calculated and paid as part of the annual reconciliation runs for year X to be carried out under Part 5.
(8) In paragraph (4), “actual supplier shares” means shares calculated under paragraph 3 of Schedule 1.
