Moorhouse Appointed As New Party Assurance Provider For The Retail Energy Code

Moorhouse Consulting is pleased to announce its appointment as the new Party Assurance provider for the Retail Energy Code (REC), following a competitive procurement process led by the Retail Energy Code Company (RECCo). 

From September 2026, Moorhouse will assume responsibility for Party Assurance delivery, following a mobilisation period beginning in April 2026. Moorhouse will build on the existing Performance Assurance Framework, supporting its continued evolution to meet future market and consumer needs. 

Working closely with RECCo and industry participants, Moorhouse will deliver proportionate, outcomes-focused assurance, providing clearer insight into compliance and market behaviours while supporting continuous improvement across the retail energy market. 

Edward Charlish, Partner at Moorhouse Consulting, said: 

We are delighted to have been appointed as RECCo’s new Party Assurance provider. We are proud to build on the strong foundations already in place and excited to bring fresh insight and constructive challenge. We look forward to working collaboratively with RECCo and industry partners to support effective assurance and meaningful performance improvement.

Moorhouse brings extensive experience in market governance, assurance and regulatory change across the energy sector. Its approach will focus on transparency, clarity of expectations and practical engagement with REC Parties. 

Nicola Garland, Client Director at Moorhouse Consulting, added: 

Effective assurance works best when it is proportionate, transparent and rooted in partnership. We look forward to working with REC Parties and the wider industry to support them on their performance journeys, with a clear focus on positive consumer outcomes.

Moorhouse will work closely with RECCo and delivery partners to ensure a smooth transition, with continuity of service and effective knowledge transfer throughout the mobilisation period.
