Electricity contestable services list

The Ring-fencing guideline prohibits JEN from providing any services other than electricity distribution services.  Accordingly, JEN cannot offer or provide any contestable electricity services such as electricity retail services, unregulated electricity infrastructure or private networks, customer-side generation solutions such as solar and batteries or energy consultancy services.

If you are looking for a provider of any of the above services, the following directory may assist you to find a service provider of those services and products that JEN cannot provide to customers. This list is not exhaustive, there may be other suitable providers in addition to the ones provided here

You are encouraged to make your own enquiries and due diligence to find the best provider for your needs as the nature of the following services are contestable. This means that there are generally more than one provider of the service or product.
