Standard payment terms are 60 days from receipt of invoice. 60 days is also the maximum contractual payment period. By negotiation or other exception some suppliers are paid on terms less than 60 days. EDF Energy operates a process of paying twice each, week with some invoices paid slightly early and some slightly late. For example a payment made on Thursday will have invoices for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday included with Wednesday being “late” but Friday and Saturday “early”. Over the supplier base and over time this averages out to zero days late for cases where there is no problem with the invoice. Across the UK business as a whole we have between 5 – 10% late payment on this basis. There have been no changes to the standard payment terms during this reporting period.

Suppliers must contact the individual named on the purchase order. After that a resolution is achieved based on the relevant provisions set out in the contract.
For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.
