Consultation for a generic Metering Dispensation based on D/534
Seagreen Wind Energy Limited (SWEL) has applied for a site specific Metering Dispensation for a solution to the issue of metering its Low Voltage Direct Current (LVDC) supplies on its Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm. SWEL would be happy for it to be generic, as long as this does not introduce any delay.
We are seeking views on whether D/534 could be made generic instead of site specific, and whether it could be adapted to be more generic by including the various solutions under D/461 and D/474 and these Metering Dispensations end dated.
Outcome (11 January)
The SVG and ISG approved D/534 as we recommended subject to the condition that the Direct Current (DC) metering solution is not used for measuring DC supplies to customers for billing purposes. We have updated the Statement of Generic Metering Dispensations to reflect their decisions. You can find more details about the consolidated solution to metering LVDC supplies on Offshore Wind Farms on the statement.

Consultation on CAP increase to £340/MWh from 25 January 2022
This page gives details of a consultation on increasing the Credit Assessment Price (CAP) to £340/MWh. This two-day consultation will close at 17.00 on 7 January 2022. Please note the last notified CAP value of £380/MWh will not go live on 7 January following a Credit Committee decision on 5 January 2022 to retain the current CAP of £305/MWh.
Update (20 Jan 2022)
The Credit Committee has been monitoring market data and held a meeting on 20 January 2022 to decide if the last notified CAP value of £340/MWh was still reflective of the recent market data and/or to propose a new CAP value for consultation.
The Credit Committee decided to cancel the last notified CAP value of £340/MWh, which was due to go live on 25 January 2022.
They also proposed a new CAP value of £245/MWh, which will go live on 8 February 2022. The next scheduled Credit Committee meeting is on 27 January where a new CAP could potentially be proposed. Therefore, the minimum duration of the new proposed CAP (£245/MWh) will be between 8 February 2022 and 15 February 2022.
We have provided more information on the rationale for this proposed CAP on the consultation webpage. Parties are invited to respond by 17:00 on Monday 24 January 2022.
