(in GBP per MWh)
Since 2009, the Office of Gas & Electricity Markets (OFGEM) require the so-called 'Big Six' large energy suppliers to provide an annual consolidated statement (CSS) to show the costs, revenues and profits for the different segments of their generation and supply businesses.
Accounting years in the reports end March 31 each year.
* ‘WACOE/G’ is weighted average cost of electricity (supply) and gas (thermal and supply) calculated by dividing direct fuel costs by volumes. For the Thermal sub-segment the cost of carbon emissions is added to direct fuel costs before dividing by the generated volume.
