Total obligation: 130,183,968 ROCs
The Renewables Obligation (RO) requires licensed electricity suppliers to source a proportion of the electricity they supply to UK customers from renewable sources. We set suppliers’ obligations as a number of Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs). The obligation levels for 2019/20, announced by the Department for Business, Energy & Industry Strategy (BEIS) on the 28th September 2018, are:
Using these obligation levels and multiplying by the total electricity supplied (MWh) to UK customers during this obligation period (1 April 2019 – 31 March 2020), the total obligation for 2019/20 is 130,183,968 ROCs. Split out for each obligation this is:
Suppliers will have until 1 September 2020 to meet their obligations for 2019/20 (31 August for buy-out payments) by:
Any suppliers who do not meet their obligations in full by the end of 1 September will need to make a late payment by 31 October.
