🇬🇧 English

This statutory instrument amends three existing regulations that govern how electricity suppliers in Great Britain contribute to major low-carbon energy schemes. It updates the Contracts for Difference (CfD) supplier obligation, the Capacity Market supplier payment rules, and the revenue collection mechanism for the Nuclear Regulated Asset Base (RAB) model. The changes are technical in nature and primarily adjust calculation methodologies, payment timings, and administrative requirements to ensure the schemes remain financially sustainable and aligned with current market conditions. The regulations come into force following parliamentary approval in 2026 and apply to licensed electricity suppliers in Great Britain.
