The Non-Domestic Alternative Fuel Payment Pass-through Requirement and Amendment Regulations 2023

These Regulations make provision for pass-through requirements in relation to the Non-Domestic Alternative Fuel Payment in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Pass-through requirements are imposed on a “relevant intermediary” (defined in regulation 2) and establish that they must pass-through an Non-Domestic Alternative Fuel Payment (“ND AFP”) or an Non-Domestic Alternative Fuel Payment Northern Ireland (“ND AFP NI”) to an “end user” (defined in regulation 2) to whom energy or energy products (or both) have been made available. These Regulations apply in respect of relevant intermediaries other than those providing certain types of hospitality accommodation (see the definition of “excluded person” under these Regulations). The Regulations also make an amendment to the Energy Bills Support Scheme and Alternative Fuel Payment Pass-through Requirement (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2023.
