This webpage aims to support Suppliers in understanding the charges they will need to pay and how these are calculated to fund the Network Charging Compensation scheme (NCC).
Supplier Payments
These are the charges Suppliers will incur on a monthly basis:
- EII Levy Payments – is the total amount of all of the sums determined for the associated claim month: This includes application, corrections to application and any dispute determinations.
- NCC Operational costs – is the EII Support Payments Administrator’s costs, and this includes establishing and operating processes.
- Reserve Fund – is an amount that is twice the amount likely to be equal to the largest EII Support Payment Total to occur in the following 12 months. The Reserve Fund is initially accumulated over 12 months from Suppliers.
The amount each Supplier pays will be determined by their market share, generating funds used to compensate Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) for the cost of their network charges.
Elexon will charge Suppliers on a monthly basis with a five working day payment term in place.
When do Suppliers need to start making payments?
Suppliers start making payments from April 2025.
We have published a NCC Payment schedule to help Suppliers understand when they will need to make their monthly payment for the associated claim month
Publication of the Estimated Levy Fund
The Estimated Levy Fund is calculated six months following the claim month. This provides an estimate of the monies that will be paid out to compensate EIIs for their network charges.
To view the monthly Estimated Levy Fund please visit this designated webpage:
The EII Levy Payment will be determined when the calculation is performed, though the Estimated Levy Fund provides some insight into what this charge.
