# The Warm Home Discount (Reconciliation) (Amendment) Regulations 2013, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Warm Home Discount (Reconciliation) Regulations 2011 (“the 2011 Regulations”) to correct a drafting error in regulation 9 and to make a minor amendment to regulation 15. The 2011 Regulations provide for the operation of a reconciliation mechanism in relation to spending by electricity suppliers under the Warm Home Discount scheme.
Regulation 15 provides for reconciliation payments to be adjusted by the operator of the reconciliation mechanism in certain circumstances; for example, to correct an error in calculation. Regulation 3 of this instrument amends regulation 15 to ensure that, where this is done, the total of the adjustment payments (“make-right amounts”) which the operator must make to scheme electricity suppliers and the total of the payments which other scheme electricity suppliers must make to the operator are equal.
An impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. An impact assessment for the Warm Home Discount scheme was published alongside the Warm Home Discount Regulations 2011 and is available from the Fuel Poverty Team, Department of Energy and Climate Change, 3 Whitehall Place, London SW1A 2AW. An Explanatory Memorandum is available alongside these Regulations on www.legislation.gov.uk.
