The Utility Regulator has published the Quarterly Retail Energy Market Monitoring report for the second quarter of 2026, detailing data on Northern Ireland's retail energy market.

The report is part of the retail energy market monitoring framework, which requires network companies and suppliers to submit information on a range of indicators. The regulator uses this data to review the progress of supply competition, inform regulatory decisions, assist stakeholders in understanding market activity, and promote consumer interests.

The report presents the key findings from the quarter, drawing on data collected under the monitoring framework. The Utility Regulator did not provide specific findings in the announcement, but stated that all documents can be made available in accessible formats including large print, Braille, audio cassette, and minority languages upon request.

The retail energy market in Northern Ireland continues to be monitored under this framework, with the regulator aiming to enhance transparency around market behaviours and regulatory compliance.
