The P272 regulation affects organisations in the UK who have electricity meters in profile classes 05-08. By 1st April 2017, all these meters will need to be migrated from NHH (Non-Half-Hourly) to HH (Half-Hourly), enabling the capability to bill on HH consumption data.
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.
In line with the government-stated intention to reduce the impact of renewables policies for most Energy-intensive Industries (EIIs) and safeguard their competitiveness internationally, from April 2017 EIIs will be exempt from a significant proportion of the costs of the Renewables Obligation (RO) and the Small Scale Feed-in Tariff (ss-FiT).
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.
