On 8 October 2019, we published an open letter seeking views on our ‘minded to’ position to suspend the Secure and Promote Market Making Obligation (MMO) in the event we released RWE from the Licence Condition. Following our decision to release RWE from the MMO from 30 October 2019, and having now considered responses to the open letter, we have decided to suspend the MMO with this taking effect on 18 November 2019.

This letter explains the reasons for our decision and provides an overview of responses to the open letter. To give effect to this decision, pursuant to the Special Condition, we have published a Direction to the relevant Electricity Generation Licensees alongside this letter.
