Fuel Mix and CO2 Emissions Disclosure 2008

Article 3(6) of the Internal Market Directive (Directive 2003/54/EC) requires Member States to ensure that the contribution of each energy source to the overall fuel-mix of the supplier over the preceding year and related environmental information are provided in or with bills sent by suppliers to final customers. This Article also stipulates that Member States must take the necessary steps to ensure that the above information provided by suppliers to customers is reliable.

The Utility Regulator has now implemented arrangements that will ensure that all suppliers provide this information on all bills and promotional materials sent to their customers.

This document sets out the 2008 fuel mixes and CO2 emissions factors for suppliers licensed in Northern Ireland and operating in the Single Electricity Market (SEM) as calculated in accordance with SEM-09-081 Interim Arrangements: Fuel Mix Disclosure in the SEM.
