Conciliation and Arbitration

If we are in dispute on any issue and we cannot come to an agreement through our complaints procedure, then we can refer the matter to conciliation. If you wish to go to conciliation, we are obliged to agree. RECC conciliation service is the conciliation service that will be used. The process is described within the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC).

A suitably qualified expert will be appointed to consider the dispute. This expert will make recommendations to resolve the dispute. These recommendations are not binding on either party. If you do not agree with the findings, you can refer the matter to the Independent Arbitration Service administered by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (“CEDR”), www.cedr.com  on behalf of the Renewable Energy Consumer Code Administrator, Renewable Energy Assurance Ltd.

The procedure used for this independent arbitration is described within the RECC Consumer Code. If you decide to follow this route, you will be required to pay a fee equivalent to the county court small claims procedure fee. You will have this fee refunded if the arbiter finds in your favour.

An award made under the independent arbitration service will be final and legally binding. Either party may only challenge the award on certain limited grounds under the Arbitration Act 1996.

We recommend that you read the Renewable Energy Consumer Code, it is available at www.recc.org.uk
