or ii where the amount determined for S under sub-paragraph (b) is a negative amount, a credit note for the amount determined (as a positive amount); or iii where the amount determined for S under sub-paragraph (b) is 0, a notice informing the supplier a standstill collection period supplier charge payment is not required. 6 The Settlement Body must, by no later than the tenth working day of the post-standstill collection month, issue an invoice to each electricity supplier required to make a mutualisation payment in respect of the collection period X under regulation 7A(4) for the amount determined for that supplier under regulation 7A(5) in respect of collection period X. 7 Unless a payment trigger event has occurred, where S has been given notice of a schedule of post-standstill payments in respect of year X in accordance with regulation 6(4A) or (4B), S may pay some or all of the capacity market supplier charge in respect of a standstill month of year X (“month SM”) by paying an amount equal to or less than the amount specified in the schedule in respect of month SM to the Settlement Body. 8 A payment of monthly capacity market supplier charge to the Settlement Body by S in respect of month SM before the date S was given notice of a schedule of post-standstill payments which included month SM is treated as a payment by S under paragraph (7) in respect of month SM. 9 Interest (if any) which accrues in respect of a payment under paragraph (7) (including a payment to which paragraph (8) applies) is treated as a payment by S under paragraph (7) in respect of month SM. 10 A payment under paragraph (7) in respect of a standstill month (“month SM”) does not discharge S's obligation to pay any amount determined under regulation 7A or to make a reconciliation payment for a standstill collection period or delivery year which includes month SM. 11 If the Settlement Body is required to reduce the amount of capacity payments payable in respect of collection period X because the total amount of capacity payments payable in respect of this period exceeds the total amount of capacity market supplier charges collected in respect of this period, the Settlement Body must, by no later than 40 working days after the date on which it was required to make this reduction, issue to each electricity supplier required to make a supplementary mutualisation payment under regulation 7A(8) an invoice for the amount determined for that supplier under regulation 7A(9) in respect of collection period X. 12 The standstill collection period supplier charge payable by S under paragraph (5)(a) is determined by— a carrying out the calculations in paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 (where the necessary data is available) to redetermine the amount of monthly capacity market supplier charge payable by each electricity supplier in respect of the standstill collection period (repeating these calculations if they have already been carried out in respect of year X); and b calculating the sum of the amount of MCMSCsm calculated for S under paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 in respect of each month of year X which is a standstill month, substituting the calculations remade under sub-paragraph (a) (if any) for any previous calculations under paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 in respect of these months. 13 The amount payable under paragraph (5)(b) (“AP”) must be calculated in accordance with the following formula— A P = S S P S C − S C P 14 In paragraph (13)— “ SSPSC ” means the amount payable by S under paragraph (5)(a); and “ SCP ” means the sum of the payments made by S in respect of year X under paragraph (7) which are held by the Settlement Body at the time of the calculation. .

and b is not a defaulting supplier, must make an additional payment (a “mutualisation payment”) to the Settlement Body in respect of collection period X. 5 The Settlement Body must, by no later than the tenth working day of the post-standstill collection month— a determine the amount of the mutualisation payment payable by each electricity supplier (“S”) who is required to make such a payment in respect of collection period X; and b include that amount in the invoice issued to S in respect of collection period X under regulation 6A(6). 6 The determination under paragraph (5)(a) must be made in accordance with sub-paragraphs (1) to (3) of paragraph 5A of Schedule 1. 7 Paragraphs (8) to (10) apply in respect of collection period X where the Settlement Body is required to reduce the amount of capacity payments payable in respect of collection period X because the total amount of capacity payments payable in respect of this period exceeds the total amount of capacity market supplier charges collected in respect of this period. 8 Where this paragraph applies, each electricity supplier who— a has been issued an invoice, credit note, or notice in respect of collection period X under regulation 6A(5)(c); and b is not a defaulting supplier, must make a further additional payment (a “supplementary mutualisation payment”) to the Settlement Body in respect of collection period X. 9 The Settlement Body must, by no later 40 working days after the date on which the Settlement Body was required to make the reduction referred to in paragraph (7) in respect of collection period X— a determine the amount of the supplementary mutualisation payment payable by each electricity supplier (“S”) who is required to make such a payment in respect of collection period X; and b include that amount in the invoice issued to S in respect of collection period X under regulation 6A(11). 10 The determination under paragraph (9)(a) must be made in accordance with sub-paragraphs (4) to (6) of paragraph 5A of Schedule 1. 11 Paragraphs (12) and (13) apply where mutualisation payments (including supplementary mutualisation payments where required) have been made in respect of collection period X and— a the Settlement Body receives payment from a defaulting supplier in relation to collection period X of— i all or part of the standstill collection period supplier charge invoiced to it; and ii late payment interest on such a charge; and b as a result of this payment, the total amount of— i standstill collection period supplier charges; ii late payment interest on such charges, iii mutualisation payments (including any supplementary mutualisation payments), and iv late payment interest on such payments, received by the Settlement Body exceeds the total amount of capacity payments (including residual capacity payments) payable to capacity providers. 12 The Settlement Body must calculate the amount of that excess (the “surplus”) and each electricity supplier who made a mutualisation payment (including a supplementary mutualisation payment) in respect of collection period X is entitled to be credited with a share of the surplus (a “mutualisation credit”), such that the surplus is distributed between such electricity suppliers in the same proportions as they made mutualisation payments (including supplementary mutualisation payments). 13 The Settlement Body must calculate the amount of mutualisation credits to be credited to electricity suppliers under paragraph (12), and credit them with those amounts, as part of the next reconciliation run for collection period X or for the delivery year which includes collection period X. 14 In this regulation “ residual capacity payment ” means an amount payable to a capacity provider in respect a standstill collection period under— a regulation 40(7)(b) of the Principal Regulations (as modified by Chapter 2 of Part 3 of the Electricity Capacity (No. 1) Regulations 2019);
