MSP kWh is the amount of electricity consumed at the 'meter supply point', which is the customer's meter. GSP kWh is obtained by multiplying the MSP kWh by the Line Loss Factor (LLF, a figure > 1) to include the amount of electricity lost when it is conducted through the distribution network, from the 'grid supply point' to the customer's meter.
The total cost of MSP salaries and associated taxes is expected to rise by £645,000 to almost £15.3m, ... the UK inflation rate recorded at 2.6%. The pay rise is automatically applied by the SPCB.

The highest subsidy price that was still awarded was 6.00 ct/kWh. [111] In a bid for onshore wind farm projects, an average payment of 5.71 ct/kWh was achieved, and 4.29 ct/kWh in a second bidding round. In 2019, there were bids for new offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom, with costs as low as 3.96 pence per kWh (4.47 ct). [112]
The UK historically had a coal-driven grid that generated large amounts of CO 2 and other pollutants including SO 2 and nitrogen oxides, leading to some acid rain found in Norway and Sweden. Coal plants had to be fitted with scrubbers which added to costs. [111] In 2019 the electricity sector of the UK emitted 0.256 kg of CO 2 per kWh of ...
The UK government agreed in April 2010 to pay for all grid-connected generated electricity at an initial rate of up to 41.3 pence (US$0.67) per kWh, whether used locally or exported. [55] The rates proved more attractive than necessary, and in August 2011, were drastically reduced for installations over 50 kW, [ 56 ] a policy change criticised ...
The simple rate charges a specific dollar per kilowatt hour ($/kWh) consumed. The tiered rate is one of the more common residential rate programs. The tiered rate charges a higher rate as customer usage increases. TOU and demand rates are structured to help maintain and control a utility's peak demand. [6]
The cut was partnered with a rise in export rate (the price at which the homeowner can sell excess electricity back to the supplier) from 3.1p to 4.5p for every kWh of electricity exported to the grid. [17] A further cut came into effect on 1 November, the tariff dropping to 15.44p/kWh, and this rate was set to remain until 1 February 2013.
