Consultation on CAP change to £235/MWh from 20 April 2022
This page gives details of a consultation on revising the Credit Assessment Price (CAP) to £235/MWh. This two-day consultation will close at 17:00 on 31 March 2022.

Outcome
The Credit Committee has decided to withdraw the last notified CAP of £235/MWh before implementation on 21 April 2022. This means the current CAP value of £215/MWh remains valid until the Credit Committee sets the next CAP value and its implementation date.
The Credit Committee has been monitoring the market very closely and has decided that the CAP value of £235/MWh would no longer be reflective of market data for implementation from 21 April.
