“This move demonstrates our commitment to be open for business and willing to listen and support those retailers operating in our region.
“By taking this step we’re promoting market entry, in particular for smaller retailers. The feedback we’ve received has been positive and we hope our current and future retailers see this as part of our continued commitment to them.”

The market, which is the biggest competitive water retail market in the world works like many other open utility markets with retailers buying wholesale services, namely the supply of water and removal of wastewater, and offering a package to sell to eligible customers.
