BEIS information on Supplier licence changes

On the 18 July 2022, changes to Energy Supplier licences were made. On 19 July 2022 these changes came into force after being laid before Parliament for 40 days in accordance with the requirements of Section 89 of the 2008 Energy Act. Background to the changes and the documents laid before Parliament can be found here.

The changes include:
