(a) those monies are recovered, wholly or partly, or

(b) the monies, or a part of them, are adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due and owing to the person who instituted the proceedings,

then the legal costs (assessed on a solicitor and client basis) incurred by the person instituting those proceedings shall be treated as an administrative expense of that person in the same proportion that the PSO Levy, or PSO Payment, bears to the sum recovered or adjudged to be due to the extent that the legal costs are not otherwise recovered.

20. Where the amount of an invoice relating to the supply of electricity is partly paid by a final customer, the PSO Levy or PSO Payment, as the case may be, shall be treated as partly paid in the same proportion as the payment bears to the total amount of the invoice (excluding Value-Added Tax).”.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

This Order modifies and updates elements of Statutory Instrument 217 of 2002, the principal order, dealing with the public service obligation (PSO) on electricity consumers. This Order specifically includes the updating of Schedule 1 to allow for the payment of a PSO benefit, following the amendments to Section 39 of the Electricity Regulation Act 1999 via the EirGrid, Electricity and Turf (Amendment) Act 2022 . Included are new provisions to allow the CRU to recalculate the PSO and to request resubmissions from suppliers where it considers necessary. The order updates the principal order in respect of renewable energy projects in the Renewable Energy Feed in Tariff Schemes and the Renewable Electricity Support Scheme.
