Credit Assessment Price (CAP Review) process consultation: 13 January 2020

Status

Who will this impact?

The Credit Assessment Price (CAP) is used in the Energy Indebtedness calculations to convert Credit Cover into an energy value. We are consulting on a decrease of the CAP to £41/MWh from the last notified value of £47/MWh. A change to CAP can impact the amount of Credit Cover required by a Trading Party.

If all respondents and Credit Committee members are in agreement, the proposed value will be implemented on Wednesday 12 February 2020 and the trigger level will remain the same.

If at least one respondent or Credit Committee member requests it or disagrees with the proposed value, Elexon will arrange a Credit Committee meeting. The Credit Committee will determine if a change needs to be made to the value of the CAP, the trigger level and when any new value should be implemented.

Outcome

No responses were in disagreement with the new suggested CAP value. As such, no Credit Committee meeting was held and the proposed CAP value was implemented on the date stated in the consultation.
