The Baseload Market Reference Price (BMRP) for the calculation season Summer 2026, which covers 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2026, is as follows:
Season: Summer 2026
BMRP: 75.30 £/MWh
This is now available on the Market Reference Prices section on the LCCC website.
How will the BMRP be used?
BMRP is used to calculate CfD payments to Baseload Generators for Baseload Difference Amounts. When the BMRP is below a pre-agreed £/MWh value (Strike Price), as set out in a CfD Generator’s contract, top-up payments are made by LCCC to the CfD Generator to make up the difference between the BMRP and the Strike Price. When the BMRP is above the Strike Price, the CfD Generator pays LCCC the difference
How is the BMRP calculated?
The BMRP is published on a seasonal basis in accordance with the Contract for Difference Standard Terms and Conditions. It is calculated using volume weighted average prices based on Baseload Forward Season Contracts reported by LEBA. BMRP for Winter 2026 will be published in October 2026.
What are previous BMRP values?
The BMRP for the Winter 2025 season, which covers 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026, was 84.75 £/MWh. For further historical BMRP values, please go to the Market Reference Prices section on the LCCC website.
