Three energy suppliers receive Final Orders from Ofgem for unpaid Renewable Obligations Payments

Failure to pay

Exiting the market?

The issuance of a final order is the last chance the three energy suppliers have to meet their obligations. Failure to do so could result in Ofgem revoking their licences and them exiting the energy market altogether.

“The Renewables Obligation and Feed-in Tariff schemes provide vital support to renewable electricity generators and play an important role in Great Britain’s journey to a greener, fairer, energy system. This enforcement action shows that we will take robust action if suppliers undermine such schemes by failing to meet their obligations, which could lead to them having their licences revoked,” said Ofgem’s director of enforcement and emerging issues Cathryn Scott.

Ofgem will publish the summary of suppliers RO payments, late payments and any other outstanding payments due after the late payment deadline of October 31.
