Utility dispensation

We have submitted an application to the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) seeking permission to dispense with the consultation regulations for the agreement of energy supply agreements.

Having submitted this application, the FTT has issued directions which require us to provide a number of documents related to our application which are available here.

These documents are:

 

 

  • A copy of the FTT directions received and the cover letter
  • A copy of the further set of FTT directions and cover letter
  • The bundle submitted to Tribunal of all relevant documents for use in the determination of the application, containing all of the documents on which Notting Hill Genesis will rely.

 

FTT decision

The Tribunal has reviewed our application and decided to grant dispensation to NHG on terms. Here is the full decision along with any further update related to this decision.
Leaseholders’ appeal rights can also be found here.

Key facts about the contract

  • Broker fee: The standing charge includes a fee of £19 per year per meter, which covers the cost of the procurement process managed by our energy broker. This fee is divided by the number of units served by each meter. Our Leasehold team is currently identifying the number of meters at your location, and we’ll share this information with you once confirmed.
  • Contract end date: The energy contract ends on 1 April 2027.
  • Procurement compliance: Inenco (now Sustainable Energy First) was required to procure energy through a compliant Framework Agreement or Dynamic Purchasing System, in line with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and all applicable laws.
  • Supplier selection: Our procurement team has confirmed that both SmartestEnergy Limited and Total Gas & Power Limited were awarded contracts through a fully compliant competitive process. This was managed by Inenco and approved by NHG.
  • Price protection: The unit costs and standing charges are capped for the duration of the contract, meaning they will not increase during the contract period.
