Low Carbon Contracts Company and Electricity Settlements Company operational costs 2022/2023 to 2024/2025
We’re seeking views on the proposed operational cost budgets and resulting levies for the Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) and the Electricity Settlements Company (ESC) for the years 2022/2023 to 2024/2025.
The Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) enters into and manages Contracts for Difference (CfD) with low carbon electricity generators. The Electricity Settlements Company (ESC) is responsible for financial transactions relating to the Capacity Market, including making capacity payments to capacity providers, controlling collateral and managing auction bid bonds.
The operational costs of the companies are recovered through levies on electricity suppliers, as set out in legislation.
Subject to the outcome of the consultation, the regulations will be amended, and the operational cost levies for the financial years 2022/2023 to 2024/2025 will be reflected in secondary legislation.
