Coca-Cola European Partners Great Britain Ltd (CCEP) has applied to Ofwat for a Water Supply Licence and Sewerage Licence with a self-supply authorisation.
The synopsis of the business plan accompanying the application says CCEP believe that having a selfsupply licence will give it a chance to take more control over its own water use, deal directly with the suppliers and build on the success of its water programme.
“CCEP says that a self-supply licence will provide the organisation with an opportunity to build on efficiency works already undertaken whilst driving cost and consumption control in the next phase of their sustainability strategy. In addition, CCEP hope that being an active participant in the market will drive further innovation and provide a direct customer voice in MOSL discussions”, the consultation document says.
In order to facilitate the application, CCEP has entered a partnership agreement with Waterscan to take on the role and responsibilities for the retail functions including market transactions, data validation, bi-lateral communications, and the management of planned and unplanned events.
Ofwat has set out its proposal to modify the standard licence conditions that will apply to CCEP if it is granted a WSSL in a new consultation on the application. If granted, this will enable CCEP to provide retail services to itself and associated persons.
Deadline to submit representations to the consultation is 21 November 2017.
