Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: REFIT in I-SEM

Last week the Department of Communications, Climate Action & Environment (DCCAE) decided on the transition of REFIT to I-SEM.

It is particularly pertinent as the 17 August deadline to change PPA provider ahead of I-SEM go-live is fast approaching.

In this week’s blog, we discuss the implications for trading supported generators’ revenues.
