Consultation

This consultation sought feedback on a proposed new approach for multiple trading relationships, our assessment of the costs and benefits, as well as an independent cost-benefit analysis.

This approach is simpler, more cost-effective, and quicker to implement, meaning earlier benefits for consumers.

These changes follow feedback from our June-July consultation where submitters raised concerns about the complexity and cost of implementation.

Our proposal would unlock choice for consumers by allowing them to use two different retailers – one for electricity consumption and another for generation. It is part of our consumer mobility work to provide more choice, more control and better value for consumers.

We thank everyone who provided feedback.
