The Regulation on Energy Market Integrity and Transparency (REMIT) aims to prohibit market abuse such as insider trading in wholesale energy markets.

We will now be publishing information on the output of our portfolio, which will be updated every 30 minutes on our website. We will also undertake to publish any urgent market messages and planned outages.”

The regulation will apply to transactions entered into by end users of gas and electricity with an annual consumption of 600 GWh or more.
