Step-by-step business journeys

Set up an energy business

A step-by-step path for setting up an energy business — an electricity generator, a network operator, a gas transporter or manufacturer, an energy supplier, or a heat, steam or air-conditioning supply business. Work out which rules apply to what you operate, put the duties every energy business shares in place — health and safety, insurance, environmental permitting, emissions trading and COMAH — then follow the rules for your kind of operation, and confirm everything with the compliance checklist.
