Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) have determined the Interim Levy Rate (ILR) and the Total Reserve Amount (TRA) for the Quarterly Obligation Period from 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026.
The amounts for Q2 2026:
ILR = £ 10.260/MWh
TRA = £ 188,846,044.78
Market prices for this calculation were taken as closing mid-prices on 28 November 2025.
We will continue to monitor market prices closely and will adjust the ILR and/or TRA if prices move in a way that could lead to over-collection or that suggests the TRA and ILR may be insufficient to cover CfD costs.
Note that once the quarter has started, the TRA can only be increased, while the ILR can be increased or decreased.
For further detail on our calculations, please refer to our online CfD dashboard, where you will also find a calendar of future key levy dates.
Webinar
Our quarterly webinar is an opportunity to ask questions about our forecasts.
The next session will be held on 21 January 2026 at 10:00, where we will also compare the outturn in Q4 2025 with our forecasts and discuss the ILR and TRA for Q2 2026.
We welcome any suggestions or feedback on what else would be useful to cover during the webinar—please email info@lowcarboncontracts.uk.
