Improving visibility of competition in the OTC contract market: additional consultation
Consultation
We consulted on a proposal to improve the monitoring and transparency of the market for OTC hedges in May 2025: Improving visibility of competition in the over-the-counter contract market: clause 2.16 information notice. Thanks to all who engaged with this consultation.
We have decided additional consultation is necessary because our proposal has expanded in scope. We want to ensure parties affected by the expanded scope have the opportunity to make a submission.
The scope of the proposal has expanded in two ways. We want to:
- collect information from all generators (including non-integrated generators)
- capture sell requests.
We have also made some other changes to the notice after considering submissions and we think it’s beneficial in this additional consultation for participants to see the proposed amended notice, including other proposed changes from the May consultation.
If you submitted on the initial consultation, you may wish to provide additional feedback on this consultation.
We welcome submissions by 5pm, Thursday 24 July and will provide an update once we have considered submissions and made a decision.
