Existing contestable customers (regular switching)
Approximately 30–60 days from contract signing to supply start.
What We Offer
Switching made simple.
A smooth transition to better electricity options — guided every step of the way.
What is switching?
"Switching" refers to changing your electricity supplier — whether from your Distribution Utility (DU) to a Retail Electricity Supplier (RES), or from one RES to another.
It enables your business to explore better pricing, more flexible terms, and sustainable energy options, without affecting the reliability of your power supply.
How long does switching take?
New contestable customers (first-time switching)
Approximately 90–180 days, which may include metering upgrades and enrollment steps.
Even with different program requirements, the process can be simplified for customers:
Switching in three simple steps.
- 1
Assessment & Proposal
We review your electricity consumption, confirm eligibility, and recommend the best supply option based on your cost and operational needs.
- 2
Contracting & Enrollment
Once you confirm, we handle the necessary documentation, coordinate enrollment with market operators, and process regulatory requirements.
- 3
Transition & Supply Start
Your account is switched to retail supply, and your service begins — without disruption to your operations.
While the overall process is similar, each CCP has specific eligibility and setup requirements:
