Suppliers must make Interim Rate payments and provide Credit Cover if they supply electricity within the Quarterly Obligation Period. Suppliers are required to maintain their Credit Cover requirement using the ILR applicable for the Quarterly Obligation Period.
Do you have sufficient Credit Cover lodged?
Please ensure you have sufficient Credit Cover lodged by 5pm on 30 June 2023 to meet the the ILR. The relevant reference period of 5 June 2023 to 25 June 2023 will be used to calculate your Credit Cover Amount on 3 July 2023.
How is my Credit Cover Calculated?

G5 – Supplier CfD Credit Cover provides information on how to calculate your Credit Cover, the daily Credit Cover Report and what happens if a Supplier doesn’t lodge sufficient Credit Cover.
What is my current CfD Credit Cover balance?
