Suppliers were allowed to import energy from European countries while avoiding paying UK green levies

The energy market regulator said the companies failed to pay by the second quarter deadline of 10th November

Levies, including the feed-in tariff and Contracts for Difference will reportedly move from customers’ electric to gas bills

The regulator has issued Colorado Energy, Igloo Energy Supply Limited, Neon Reef Limited, Whoop Energy Limited and Symbio Energy with provisional orders to make the FiT payments

The measure, which will run until 2026, will be open to operators of small solar installations located on buildings with a capacity of up to 500kW

Ofgem said the company has failed to meet the deadline of 11th August for its payment obligation

The proposed penalty follows four late payments into the FiT and RO schemes

If these suppliers fail to pay they may be at risk of losing their licences, the energy regulator says

Following the closure of the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme to new applicants in March 2019, the government has acknowledged that small-scale renewable energy generators need to be paid for the electricity that they export to the grid.
