The Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) changes to support Energy Intensive Industry (EII) for Electricity Market Reform (EMR) will be implemented as part of the June 2015 Release, today Thursday 25 June 2015.

This supports The Electricity Supplier Obligations (Amendment & Excluded Electricity) Regulations 2015 that came into force on 1 April 2015 to introduce the EII and green excluded electricity policy.

  • The EII policy is designed to exempt eligible EIIs from a proportion of CFD payments. The earliest the EII exemptions can apply will be the 1 October 2015.
  • Green excluded electricity policy is designed to exempt eligible imported renewable electricity from contributing to the costs of CFDs, specifically a Supplier’s CFD period contribution.

We’ve communicated via circulars on these topics and the most recent being EMRC47,  however we previous circular sent were EMRC45 and EMRC41.
