Consultation on CAP decrease to £175/MWh from 8 March 2022
This page gives details of a consultation on decreasing the Credit Assessment Price (CAP) to £175/MWh. This two-day consultation will close at 17.00 on 21 February 2022.
Please note the last notified CAP value of £190/MWh will still go live on 22 February.
Outcome
The Credit Assessment Price (CAP) will stay at £190/MWh
The Credit Committee has decided that the consulted on CAP value of £175/MWh would no longer be reflective of market data for implementation in March. Therefore it will not be implemented unless forward market prices revert to their former downward trends very soon which will be observed very closely over the coming days until the next Credit Committee meeting.
