The Electricity Supplier Obligations (Excluded Electricity) (Amendment) Regulations 2024
These Regulations amend the provisions of the Electricity Supplier Obligations (Amendment & Excluded Electricity) Regulations 2015 (the “2015 Regulations”) which concern EII excluded electricity. “EII excluded electricity” is electricity supplied to certain industrial users of electricity (energy-intensive industries (EIIs)). Following an application to the Secretary of State, a proportion of the electricity used by eligible EII’s is excluded from the calculation of the suppliers’ obligations to make payments under the Contracts for Difference (Electricity Supplier Obligations) Regulations S.I. 2014/2014. The supplier is expected to pass the cost saving on to its EII customer to reduce the EII’s electricity bill.
