Evolving multiple trading and switching

Introducing multiple traders at a property and an operational review of industry switching processes.

Overview

We’ve revised our proposal for multiple trading relationships following industry feedback. It is now simpler, more cost effective and could deliver benefits to consumers sooner.

Enabling multiple trading relationships would unlock choice for consumers by allowing them to use two different retailers – one for electricity consumption and another for generation.

It would allow retailers to compete for, and reward consumers for, their distributed generation such as batteries and rooftop solar. This would encourage more investment in distributed generation, which will help strengthen regional resilience and improve overall system security.
