Tesla granted electricity supply licence in Great Britain
Change
Ofgem granted Tesla an electricity supply licence enabling the company to supply electricity to domestic and business premises across Great Britain.
Why it matters
Ofgem issued an electricity supply licence covering domestic and business premises in England, Scotland and Wales. The licence permits sale of electricity for household use, business consumption and electric vehicle charging. The licence explicitly bars offering household dual-fuel (electricity plus gas) contracts. Tesla operates a branded retail supply business and a virtual power plant in Texas that charges EVs and pays owners for selling stored electricity.
Implications
- • Household retail contracts must be structured as electricity-only; gas must be managed under separate tariffs or suppliers.
- • Billing and tariff systems must segregate electricity charges from any household gas arrangements.
