78: Person involved in distributor must not pay for transfer of retail customers to connected retailers

You could also call this:

“Old rule about paying to switch electricity companies no longer exists”

This section of the law used to be about preventing certain people from paying to move customers between electricity companies. However, this rule no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 1 September 2022. This means that the rule doesn’t apply anymore and you don’t need to worry about it.
