I've added the external link to the Guardian article because this seems important. Perh a section: What happens to the money? Is the buy out fund mentioned the Non-Fossil Purchasing Agency? Omicron18 10:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
This section should be retitled Renewables Obligation and written as a description of the whole mechanism instead of just ROCs, which are only one part of the mechanism. User:Biffa2
Is there a link to the source of the data in the table giving the Renewables Obligation percentages and prices? Bewp ( talk) 09:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand the difference between the price and the effective prive and why they change at different rates - can someone please explain? I think this would be a useful addition to the page to help context this article.

Well, it's a horrible table. Here's what I think is going on... The 'Price (£/MWh)' column refers to the buy-out price. This is the ceiling price: the price above which the costs can not rise (as suppliers can just make buyout payments instead of buying ROCs). The 'Effective Price per Unit (p/kWh)' column is the maximum costs spread across all generated energy. This column = p/kWh / (1/proportion of supply made up by renewables), e.g. for 2002/2003, 3p/kWh / (1/0.03) = 0.09p per kWh. Hope this helps. Lloyd 78.145.255.165 ( talk) 16:27, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
The entrys in the £/MWh and p/KWh table don't appear to be a correct conversion. The p/KWh entrys should be around 3p/Kwh. The £/MWh table entrys appear to be correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.20.161 ( talk) 11:30, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
The displayed price for each MWh refers the the buy-out price which sets a minimum price for the ROC. Market prices (in this case allocated by a trader/broker) can be seen here: http://www.e-roc.co.uk/trackrecord.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.229.86.63 ( talk) 17:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
The table appears to be misleading, so I will change the units to £/MWh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.86.115.114 ( talk) 10:12, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Some energy (marine one) seems to be give right to double ROC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.196.142.21 ( talk) 14:23, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Could someone add something about the discussion of who would shoulder the costs for (existing) renewable projects in Scotland in case of separation. User:Meerwind7 11:20, 11 Sept 2014
I came here looking for chapter and verse on the markets for electricity WITH a ROC, electricity WITHOUT, and ROCs alone. I didn't even know they were being replaced by CfDs. But this paragraph looks at least eight years out of date in that it has: ". . . 2014 (when it is anticipated the CfDs will start)", indicating that the writer was writing before 2014, and that it hasn't been updated to say when they DID start, and what has happened since.
