Ofwat has announced changes to streamline and simplify the process for businesses and other organisations interested in becoming a self-supplier, including reducing the application fee from £5,250 to £3,000 and the timescale for Ofwat to process applications.
Announcing the change, the regulator said it believes the process could be better tailored to reflect the differences in the information needed to assess self-supply applications. Previously, applicants applying to self-supply had to go through a process very similar to the standard WSSL applications process.
Following consultation, Ofwat is introducing a modified application process for business customers applying for WSSLs limited to self-supply and this is now separate from the standard WSSL application process.
The changes come into effect immediately.
