On 14 December 2018, we published our minded-to position on Octopus Energy Limited’s (Octopus) intention to claim for a Last Resort Supply Payment for certain additional costs they incurred in acting as a Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR). This letter confirms our decision to consent to Octopus claiming a Last Resort Supply Payment of up to £13.02m. We also explain any additional factors we have taken into consideration, including representations made to us by interested parties in response to our consultation.
