We’ve launched a consultation on two key documents that will help shape Performance Assurance activity from September 2026, inviting stakeholders to give feedback on proposed retail market risks and planned assurance activities.
The consultation covers the Retail Risk Register (RRR) and the Performance Assurance Operating Plan (PAOP), which are key components of RECCo’s Performance Assurance framework for the coming year.
The Retail Risk Register identifies the principal risks that could affect the effective operation of the Retail Energy Code and the delivery of positive consumer and market outcomes, while the PAOP sets out an annual view of RECCo’s proposed programme of Performance Assurance activities to address those risks.
RECCo is encouraging stakeholders across the industry to review the documents and provide feedback to help ensure that the identified risks, priorities, and planned activities reflect current market conditions and emerging challenges.
Stakeholders are particularly invited to share their views on:
- The proposed Retail Risks and their prioritisation
- The planned assurance activities for 2026/27
- Any emerging risks or market developments that should be considered.
Stakeholder feedback plays an important role in ensuring the Performance Assurance framework remains focused on the areas of greatest risk and delivers meaningful outcomes for the market and consumers.

The consultation is now open until 24 July 2026.
Responses should be submitted via the REC Portal.
