CDCM Annual Review Process & Objectives Harvey Jones CE Electric (on behalf of DNOs) 12 May | Energy Networks Association - CMG

Our Licence obligations 13.1 The licensee must at all times have in force: (a) a Use of System Charging Methodology which the Authority has approved on the basis that it achieves the Relevant Objectives; and (b) a Connection Charging Methodology which the Authority has approved on the basis that it achieves the Relevant Objectives (each, separately, “the Charging Methodology”), and, except with the consent of the Authority, must comply with the Charging Methodology as modified from time to time in accordance with this condition The licensee must, for the purpose of ensuring that the Charging Methodology continues to achieve the Relevant Objectives: (a) review the methodology at least once every year; and (b) subject to paragraph 13.4, make such modifications (if any) of the methodology as are necessary for the purpose of better achieving the Relevant Objectives.

The relevant objectives The Relevant Objectives in relation to the Charging Methodology are: (a) that compliance with the methodology facilitates the discharge by the licensee of the obligations imposed on it under the Act and by this licence; - we need to meet our licence and electricity act obligations (b) that compliance with the methodology facilitates competition in the generation and supply of electricity, and does not restrict, distort, or prevent competition in the transmission or distribution of electricity; Does not get in the way of market competition (c) that compliance with the methodology results in charges which reflect, as far as is reasonably practicable (taking account of implementation costs), the costs incurred by the licensee in its Distribution Business; reflects cost incurred by our business and (d) that, so far as is consistent with sub-paragraphs (a), (b), and (c), the methodology, as far as is reasonably practicable, properly takes account of developments in the licensee’s Distribution Business. Takes account of structural changes in our businesses
