Export electricity prices

[Princess Pooper]

Our export contract is up for renewal. We prefer to deal with a smaller co not the big 6 as we think they are better /quicker at sorting any problems, but it means we don't get the Govt guaranteed price. We export about 100,000Kwh per annum, wind generated, E Mids area. Been offered 5.15p (1 yr). Anyone else done recent deals?

Sounds pretty good.
Maybe its worth getting a few quotes though?
I use Limejump, they did a good fixed annual contract for my PV array.
Opus Energy also worth a try

Opus Energy Great firm to work with!

Does that include all the embedded benefits?

Agree. We've used Opus for the last 3 years and have got on very well with them.

 

[Zero Homes]

5.15p sounds good.

Is 5.15p an indictive rate? Opus usually over plays the embedded benefits

what are embedded benefits?

We supply FITS reading to them quarterly and they claim FITS for us and pay it to us.
They pay us the price quoted for export elec (we use some on site so not all exported).
We pay by contra for data collected which is done by STARK. When we have had some nil generation months (long story) they have and not asked us to pay the DC charges until we have some revenue again. (still annoying having to pay for DC when there is no data though!)

Should be around 6p with embedded benefits with opus

 

[Princess Pooper]

I ask again, what are embedded benefits?

 

[Princess Pooper]

right, I've now looked to see what my purchaser says about embedded benefits and it appears as though these are only paid (on their contracts) to larger generators? Ours is a fixed price contract. Are some of you getting embedded benefits with our low export volumes? ?Incidentally, what is anyone paying for data collection?

 

[wasted years]

I ask again, what are embedded benefits?

I would imagine they are the payments received for what is called 'Demand side response services'.

Don't ask.

 

[DaveGrohl]

Are we not talking about REGOs, Triads etc?

 

[Bob]

Western Power are my data collector pay them dir

Should be around 6p with embedded benefits with opus

Just had a PPA quote from OPUS this afternoon 4.8pence for 12 months they estimate 5.08 with benefits. Thought 6p was to good to be true
