# The Electricity and Gas (Standards of Performance) (Suppliers) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2024, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Electricity and Gas (Standards of Performance) (Suppliers) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/1544) (the “Principal Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends regulation 8 of the Principal Regulations (suppliers’ payment obligations), by increasing the payment that a supplier must make to the customer if they-
fail to meet a relevant standard of performance; or
fail to make a standard payment within 10 working days; or
fail to relay a distributed payment within 10 working days.
The payment is increased from £30 to £40.
Regulation 3 makes transitional provision for circumstances where immediately before these Regulations come into effect a supplier is required by the Principal Regulations to make a £30 payment. Where this applies, the payment is not increased by the coming into force of these Regulations and remains at £30.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
