Credit Assessment Price increase to £305/MWh
This page gives details of a consultation on increasing the Credit Assessment Price (CAP) to £305/MWh from the last notified value of £230/MWh. This two-day consultation closed at 17.00 on 2 December.
Outcome
The CAP value will increase to £305/MWh on Friday 17 December 2021. As a result, Parties may notice a change in their Credit Cover Percentage and should review the amount of Credit Cover lodged.
Three consultation responses disagreed with the proposed value. The Credit Committee considered the consultation responses without holding a Credit Committee meeting, so as not to hold up the implementation of the increased CAP value. These responses will also be considered in more detail at the next Credit Committee meeting, which will be in the week beginning 13 December 2021.
