Regulation 8 Interim rate payments
An electricity supplier must make a payment (“an interim rate payment”) to the CFD counterparty in respect of each day on which that supplier supplies electricity in Great Britain during a quarterly obligation period.
The amount of an interim rate payment to be paid by a supplier in respect of a day is equal to the amount of electricity supplied by that supplier on that day multiplied by the interim levy rate which applies in relation to that day.
The CFD counterparty must, as soon as reasonably practicable after the BSCCo has carried out an Interim Information Volume Allocation Run in respect of a day in a quarterly obligation period, issue a notice to each electricity supplier who supplied electricity on that day stating the interim rate payment which the supplier to whom the notice is issued must pay in respect of that day.
A supplier must make an interim rate payment in respect of a day by the 5th working day after the day on which the CFD counterparty has issued a notice under paragraph (4) to that supplier.
Where a supplier fails to pay all or part of an interim rate payment by the day on which that payment must be made, that supplier must pay the CFD counterparty simple interest on any unpaid amount at the rate specified in regulation 35(1) from the day after the day on which that payment should have been made.
For the purposes of paragraph (2), the amount of electricity supplied by an electricity supplier on a particular day is the amount of electricity which the BSCCo determines, on the basis of an Interim Information Volume Allocation Run in respect of that day, as the amount of electricity supplied by that supplier on that day.
