Stakeholders in Demand Response within the NEM

b) Usage of DR by Retailers
The number of retailers operating in the NEM is not fixed – it increases when new retailers enter the market and decreases when retailers merge, or otherwise cease operations.
The retailers that existed in late 2014 were categorised in our 2014 Issue “Power Trading Schematic” Market Map.
Rather than trying to be definitive in listing all retailers below, we have built the following listing referenced to information in the public domain (or where they have specifically requested an inclusion) with reference to a retailer’s support for demand response.
