The Utility Regulator today publishes its latest Quarterly Transparency Report (QTR) for quarter 2 (April to June 2016).
We publish retail transparency reports at the end of February, May, August and November each year. The reports provide a range of information about the electricity and gas supply energy markets in Northern Ireland. The QTR presents data collected as part of the Retail Energy Market Monitoring (REMM) framework. REMM requires network companies and suppliers to submit data on a range of indicators to ensure regulatory compliance. EU pricing comparative data within the report is sourced from Eurostat.
We use the information outlined in the report to review the progress and impact of supply competition; build knowledge for regulatory decisions; comply with EU Third Package mandatory requirements on market monitoring; allow other interested stakeholders to understand more readily the activity within our energy markets; and to help promote the interests of consumers.
