Pass Through Commodity Charged on Brook Green Flexible Electricity Contracts….
Brook Green Flexible Contracts have non-commodity costs that run on an annual cycle from October to September. These costs are reset each August for the upcoming cycle. However, capacity charges, set by Distribution, not by Brook Green, operate on a different annual cycle, running from April to March. This discrepancy often leads to some confusion when comparing the charges on your invoice to those outlined in your contract or the non-commodity notification which shows an average.
To help clarify, when your Brook Green Flexible contract indicates that capacity charges are Pass Through, you might notice that the charges on your invoice don’t align with either the contract or the non-commodity notification. This is because the capacity charges are reset from April to March, unlike other costs that follow the October to September cycle. Consequently, the non-commodity notification displays an average of the charges for the entire year, which can sometimes cause confusion.
Here’s an illustration to help explain this better:
| Month | Capacity charge as appears on invoice p/kVa |
|---|---|
| Oct-24 | 4.1 |
| Nov-24 | 4.1 |
| Dec-24 | 4.1 |
| Jan-25 | 4.1 |
| Feb-25 | 4.1 |
| Mar-25 | 4.1 |
| Apr-25 | 8.08 |
| May-25 | 8.08 |
| Jun-25 | 8.08 |
| Jul-25 | 8.08 |
| Aug-25 | 8.08 |
| Sep-25 | 8.08 |
Capacity charge p/kVa as appears on the Non-Commodity notification issued in August (this is the average of the year): 6.09
