CMA CUSC Appeal Decision

30 Mar 2021

Statement on the CMA’s decision on CUSC appeal Mod 317/327:

“We are disappointed by this decision as we felt the proposed changes were based on a flawed application of the law which will unfairly burden generators with increased costs, undermining low carbon investment and the UK’s net zero ambitions.

“We support a charging regime and infrastructure which will deliver the flexible low carbon electricity system for the future and therefore we will review the detail of the CMA’s decision in full and consider our next steps.

“We will continue to work with Ofgem, NGESO and the wider industry to deliver a flexible electricity system and meet the net zero ambitions which are in the best interests of all stakeholders.”
