Charging information
These documents show the charges for those authorised to use our network, together with the methodology used to calculate them. Each December we set the charges for the charging year that will start 15 months ahead on the first of April.
We use standard industry methodologies to calculate our charges known as the CDCM and EDCM. The CDCM is the Common Distribution Charging Methodology that applies to most customers. The EDCM is the Extra-high voltage Distribution Charging Methodology which is applied to customers connecting to our network at extra-high voltage levels as designated in our licence. Connection charges are calculated according to the Common Connection Charging Methodology, which can be found here.
