Regulation 19 Obligation to incur spending and amounts of spending
In each scheme year, a compulsory scheme electricity supplier must incur spending under this Part to the amount of its non-core spending obligation.
In doing so, the supplier—
must provide prescribed rebates under Chapter 3 (broader group) to at least the number of Scotland domestic customers (if any) specified by its broader group rebate target;
may include spending under Chapter 4 (industry initiatives), subject to the limits in paragraphs (3) and (4); and
may include spending under Chapter 5 (specified activities).
Where the aggregate non-core spending obligation exceeds £600,000, the amount of spending on debt write-off under regulation 24 which a supplier counts towards its non-core spending obligation—
must not exceed the supplier’s obligation percentage of £300,000 in respect of customers who are supplied with neither electricity or gas through a pre-payment meter;
must not, in total, exceed the supplier’s obligation percentage of £600,000.
Where the aggregate non-core spending obligation exceeds £800,000, the amount of spending on the installation of boilers or central heating systems under regulation 24 which a supplier counts towards its non-core spending obligation must not in total exceed the supplier’s obligation percentage of £800,000.
This regulation is subject to regulations 26 and 27.
