Notice of decision to impose a financial penalty following an investigation into the reporting by Npower Limited of electricity supply data under the Renewables Obligation and Feed-in Tariff scheme
Penalty notice
Publication date
In September 2013, we opened an investigation into npower’s compliance with its reporting obligations under the Renewable Obligation and Feed-in Tariff scheme.
These provisions are very important as Ofgem relies on licence holders submitting accurate information to carry out its statutory functions and administer environmental programmes, including the RO and FiTs, effectively.
The Authority has concluded that the licensees, npower Limited, npower Northern Limited, npower Direct Limited, and npower Yorkshire Limited breached their reporting requirements under s.32J of the Electricity Act 1989 for the reporting of electricity supply data to Ofgem for the 2010/11 and 2011/12 reporting periods.
The Authority has confirmed its decision to impose a financial penalty of £125,000.
