Markets Roadmap
We are committed to working together with stakeholders as we reform our markets to be fit for a net zero future. We share information on this transition at regular Markets Forums and through our annual Markets Roadmap.
We believe that competition is vital to encourage innovation and keep prices as low as possible. We play a central role in developing electricity markets and the way they operate with these principles in mind.
We are helping to remove barriers to entry and improve access to our markets so that lots of different businesses, small and large, can participate and compete.
On this page, you can find out more about what we’re doing to transform markets and what our plans for the future are.
