The First Annual Energy Retail Report provides information on the energy industry in Northern Ireland with particular emphasis on the retail sector. It is separated into three parts. Part one covers general background to both the electricity and gas sectors in Northern Ireland and the work of the Utility Regulator within those sectors. Part two is centered on delivering specific information around the retail segments of the regulated energy sectors, and part three summarises the Utility Regulator’s current and future retail work areas.
The Utility Regulator welcomes views and suggestions from stakeholders on how we might improve future editions – particularly in relation to part two. We encourage comments and ideas for improvement on all areas of the report, including new data sources and new data content. In particular, we would appreciate stakeholders’ views on the use of this report to inform on the extent of competition and to measure contestability in our energy supply markets.
