Posted 03.04.2017

LCCC has published the Minor and Necessary Guidance for Allocation Round 2.

Purpose of the Document:

• The document provides guidance on how to apply for a Minor and Necessary (M&N) Modification to the Standard Terms and Conditions (STCs) once an allocation round has been established.
• It outlines the process for making modifications related to low-carbon electricity generation projects in the UK.

Eligibility Criteria for M&N Modifications:

• The document explains the criteria that an applicant must meet to qualify for an M&N Modification.
• These modifications are typically minor adjustments to the STCs that do not significantly impact the overall contract.

Application Process:

• It details the steps involved in applying for an M&N Modification.
• Applicants need to submit relevant information, justifications, and evidence to support their proposed changes.
• The Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) reviews the application and assesses whether the modification is necessary and reasonable.

Timeframes and Considerations:

• The document specifies the timeframes within which applicants should submit their requests.
• It also highlights the importance of ensuring that modifications are genuinely necessary and do not undermine the integrity of the CfD scheme.
