(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Electricity and Gas (Standards of Performance) (Suppliers) Regulation 2015 (S.I. 2015/1544) (the “Principal Regulations”).

Regulations 5 and 6 insert new performance standards that must be met by the gas and electricity suppliers into the Principal Regulations. The new performance standards are in relation to the obligation to complete a supplier transfer (regulation 6ZA), avoidance of erroneous transfer (regulation 6ZB) and provision of a final bill (regulation 6CA).

Regulation 7 inserts provisions into regulation 9 of the Principal Regulations, in respect of exemptions and limitations to supplier payment obligations for failure to meet the new performance standards.
