Compliance and Performance Reporting Guideline
Overview
We use information provided by energy businesses to monitor and produce reports on their performance and compliance with regulatory obligations.
This guideline sets out what retailers and distributors need to report to us.
To help ensure we receive the correct information, we ask regulated businesses to use reporting templates we have created.
