Any supply contract renewed any time after 5th November 2015 must be settled using HH consumption within a 45-day period from the contract start date, with all meters being migrated by 1st April 2017.

Subject to state aid approval, companies operating in sectors such as steel, chemicals, engineering, brick making, metal casting, heavy manufacturing, and mining will benefit from this exemption, but non-exempt customers will pay extra to cover the shortfall.
