The Commission has confirmed that it will be conducting an investigation into the original State aid notification for the Capacity Market. This investigation will include Capacity Market agreements already entered into, including those for 2018/19 and 2019/20.

A positive final State aid decision would allow payments to be made to those agreement holders that have met their obligations during the standstill period.
