Work programme published for the six-month review of the opening of the domestic market

Today the Utility Regulator publishes its work programme for the six-month review of the opening of the domestic electricity market. It is expected that the review will be complete by February/March 2011.

Following domestic market opening in June 2010, we committed to carrying out a six-month review of the development of competition in the market.  This review is not supplier specific, but as there are currently a small number of players there may be some aspects of the review that are only applicable to the active suppliers.  The review will cover all aspects of the domestic market within the current regulatory framework.
