In autumn 2014 the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) finalised the provisions for Offtaker of Last Resort (OLR). As administrators, we must determine which licensed electricity suppliers are to be mandatory licensed suppliers for the OLR in any given OLR year.

This letter sets out:

  • what an OLR mandatory licensed supplier is
  • the timetable for determinations
  • how we intend to determine mandatory suppliers for the first OLR year.

It also requests contact details from each supplier to make communication easier.
