Cancellation Charge Estimate
National Grid Transmission Owners (NGTOs) undertake investment works to accommodate the needs of generators already connected and those expected to connect in the future to the electricity transmission network.
However, a generator may decide to cancel its project or reduce its capacity where the associated works have already begun. This may result in unnecessary costs to other network users which are ultimately borne by the end consumer. User commitment arrangements place liabilities on generators triggering particular investment works, known as Cancellation Charge, in order to financially secure the investment being undertaken on their behalf.
The security arrangements comprise of a generic liability to cover broad system investment (Wider), and a specific liability to cover local generator-driven investment (Attributable). All generation projects would be liable for a proportion of the wider amount, whilst only pre-commissioning generation projects would be liable for their particular attributable, or local amount.
