What are my requirements against Interim Rate payments and Credit Cover?
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. If Suppliers need to lodge additional Credit Cover the process is detailed in WP42 – Supplier CFD Credit Cover and G5 – Supplier CFD Credit Cover.
