Hydro Benefit Replacement Scheme and Common Tariff Obligation: statutory review 2022: consultation

"The Hydro Benefit Replacement Scheme and Common Tariff Obligation help protect consumers in the North of Scotland from the high costs of electricity distribution in that area.

The government must review the schemes every 3 years, and this consultation forms part of the review process.

We propose to retain both schemes in their current form, subject to some minor technical improvements to the funding arrangements of the Hydro Benefit Replacement Scheme."
