Key Comments
• Stakeholders recognise the progress and work by DNOs since June 2010
• Concerns:– Cost-reflectivity
– Inclusion of 2 different methodologies (LRIC, FCP)
– Demand scaling method and high percentage of total costs
– Justification of charges
– Fairly even split between voltage level and site specific options
– Need for capping seen as a failure of the methodology (although customers were in favour of capping!)
15 February 2011
Key Comments (continued)
• Concerns continued:– Scaling of generation charges
– Distinction between:
• intermittent/non-intermittent generation and
• on-shore/off-shore generation
– Volatility and predictability of charges
– Pre-2005 generation compensation unknown
• Awaiting Ofgem decision
– Failure to address issues raised to June consultation
– Specific illustrative charges – some are significantly higher

A stakeholder comment
“In conclusion; this evolution is much better than that rightly delayed last summer.
It remains, however, an inelegant solution to a question that many EHV users would have been happy not to ask”!
