He explained that the fall in energy demand because of the Covid-19 lockdown was always expected to increase the £/MWh rate of...
“With increased BSUoS costs coming at a time of difficulty in the market, the deferment of additional BSUoS costs would be a welcome relief to suppliers and transmission connected generators alike.”
"The Bank Holiday weekend also saw embedded wind generation peak at 3.7GW and solar output peak at 8.7GW, reducing demand on the transmission system.
“Eventually, these increases to non-energy charges could be passed down to the consumer bill at a time where some customers are facing financial difficulties due to COVID-19, as they are urged to stay at home."
Cornwall Insight analysis shows that only Northern Scotland sees consistent BSUoS charges for embedded generators every month."
“One of the core ideals of the I-SEM project was to reduce costs to consumers."
“When the cable has been available it has succeeded in reducing BSUoS costs and increasing wind’s share of the generation mix."
