Way forward on the development of the Retail Energy Code and retail code consolidation

Guidance

We are introducing a new dual fuel Retail Energy Code (REC) to support fast and reliable switching for consumers, and have amended the relevant licence conditions to give effect to this.

This document considers the way forward for the REC v2.0 and v3.0. In October we asked a number of policy questions concerning the scope and delivery route for the REC. Here, we outline the responses we received, and the next steps for delivering the REC and consolidating the existing retail codes.

When reading alongside our October consultation, this document addresses chapters 4 to 6 and chapter 8.

We have published this alongside the designation of the Retail Energy Code, which can be found here.
