Hydro Benefit Replacement Scheme and Common Tariff Obligation: three year review of statutory schemes - consultation

There is a requirement for the government to review the Hydro Benefit Replacement Scheme and the Common Tariff Obligation every three years. This consultation forms part of the review process, and views are invited from any interested parties on whether the schemes continue to meet their policy objectives, provide the right level of assistance to consumers in the North of Scotland and are operationally effective. Views are also invited on the best way to deliver a revised funding arrangement for the Shetland cross-subsidy from around 2019 onwards, which will have the effect of reducing costs for all consumers in the North of Scotland.
