Power stations without long-term offtake contracts

Article Abstract:

Financial experts believe that the UK independent power sector will increasingly turn to tolling arrangements in preference to long-term offtake contracts. The Humber 2 project and the Rocksavage project, financing for both of which closed in 1996, use this approach. An external company, ICI in the case of Rocksavage, agrees to supply the gas and sell the electricity, which means that the IPP simply charges a toll on the gas conversion. The increasing acceptance by banks of tolling arrangements has been a contributory factor in the post-1992 revival of UK IPPs.
