Our Statement on the Government’s TPI Regulation Consultation Outcome

We welcome the Government’s announcement introducing formal regulation for Third-Party Intermediaries (TPIs) in the retail energy market. This long-awaited move is a critical step toward greater transparency, higher standards, and fairer outcomes for businesses navigating the energy landscape.

A continued lack of formal oversight has allowed some TPIs to charge excessive fees or procure contracts that provide little real value. This undermines trust and makes it harder for businesses to make confident, well-informed decisions about their energy strategy.

Since our founding, we have led the way in best practice and self-regulation. Whether pioneering as the first TPI to accede to RECCo’s Code of Practice or earning recognition at the TELCA Awards, we’ve proven that putting clients first builds relationships defined by trust and mutual value.

At a time when every pound matters for businesses, complex energy markets and associated costs remain one of the biggest barriers to growth and net-zero. Today’s announcement will help prevent unscrupulous practice, enabling businesses to focus on their bottom line and the environment.

Every industry performs better when transparency, honesty, and a client-first philosophy are prioritised. TPIs contribute to a competitive, modern energy market, and we look forward to supporting new regulations that will raise standards, elevate consumer confidence and build a fairer market for all.
