0726 - (Urgent) - COVID-19 Liquidity Relief Scheme for Shippers

This Modification aims to introduce a scheme of defined duration, that seeks to assist those customers who have liquidity constraints due to COVID-19 and whose Supplier uses Shippers on Gas Transporter (GT) networks (Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and the National Transmission System (NTS) networks). This Modification relates to some Transportation invoices; it excludes invoices for energy balancing. Only some Shippers will be eligible. The total value of the scheme is capped and will end by the end of the 2020/21 financial year. This Modification supports Ofgem’s COVID-19 priorities of supporting vulnerable customers and maintaining the supply of gas and is consistent with the Ofgem open letter published on 02 June 2020.
