What are the rules and regulations around reselling electricity to residents? FREE guide
The sale and distribution of power is regulated, requiring a licence from Ofgem in many instances, but there are exemptions that can apply to residential schemes.
Switch2 Energy and law firm Penningtons Manches Cooper have worked together to develop a fact sheet to help heat network operators understand the practical and legal aspects of supplying electricity to residents.
The supply of electricity to a premises generally requires a licence from Ofgem. The fact sheet will cover where exemptions can apply and can offer landlords the opportunity to sell electricity to residents connected to a site’s privately operated electricity network.
This document will provide an introduction to the 4 main topics of:
- Resale of electricity to residents
- Distribution of electricity generated on site to residents and small-scale supply
- The question, “Do residents have the right to choose an alternative electricity supplier?”
- Electric Vehicle charge points
