This letter sets out the decision of the Authority to grant Ecotricity Limited a limited derogation from standard licence condition SLC 22B (“BAT”) and SLC 22D (prohibition of Dead Tariffs) of their electricity and gas supply licences respectively, in the terms (and subject to the conditions) set out in the attached directions.
The purpose of these derogations is to support renewable tariffs which have been derogated from the default tariff cap and to benefit customers.
These derogations, which have immediate effect, replace the written statement issued to Ecotricity on 16 August 2022 which provided comfort that Ofgem would not take enforcement action against Ecotricity for not complying with SLC 22B.
