Third party intermediaries keen to keep abreast of Ofgem’s review of the small business market might want to attend a meeting later this month in London.
Ofgem launched a review of the small business market in May, stating that a “key focus of concern … is the activities of some brokers” and that “weak broker regulation is allowing room for sharp practices”.
While the review progresses, the regulator is hosting a session for TPIs on 27 September, 1pm-4.30pm at the Museum of London Docklands, London, E14 4AL.
It will also cover a number of different areas, including switching and settlement reform, plus the Ofgem/Beis future energy retail markets review. Domestic switching sites and auto-switchers are also invited.
Those interested in attending should email TPIforum@ofgem.gov.uk.
