Market Entry

New entrants to the Retail Electricity market are welcome. RMDS provides a support service to new entrants to guide them through the steps of entry. RMDS also provides briefings on the structure of the retail market, if required.

Market Entry includes an assurance step. The assurance requirements are governed by the Retail Electricity Assurance Strategy. The Market Entry Assurance Process document describes the steps in detail. The requirements are consistent with those that existing participants have met.

RMDS is the contact point for the market Entry Assurance Process. RMDS in conjunction with MRSO co-ordinates the non-assurance steps of the entry process.

New Entrants may choose to be approved to operate in one, or more, market segments. Further assurance and approval is required to operate in other Market segments.
