At-a-glance summary
The Market Stabilisation Charge (MSC) came to an end on 31 March 2024. The MSC was a temporary measure in place from 14 April 2022 to 31 March 2024 which required all domestic suppliers acquiring a domestic customer to pay a charge to the losing supplier when wholesale prices fell considerably below the relevant wholesale price cap index.
For more information, please refer to the MSC guidance.
