Enabling investment and innovation
Evolving multiple trading and switching
Introducing multiple traders at a property and an operational review of industry switching processes.
Overview
We're proposing changes to enable consumers to choose two different retailers; one for consumption (load), and one for their generation.
This will provide real benefits for consumers by enabling innovative retailers to compete, and reward consumers, for their distributed generation. This should encourage investment in distributed generation, leading to an increase in regional resilience and overall system security.
