Measuring retail market performance

Retailers are required to regularly report a series of metrics to us related to their performance, including customer numbers, contract types, complaints, energy debt, payment plans, hardship programs, disconnections and reconnections.

Current retail performance reporting procedures and guidelines

We publish this data on a quarterly and annual basis and provide commentary and analysis that contributes to understanding and decision-making in the retail markets.
