UKWRC vision for the business retail market

Coffee shop owners standing in front of their door

Our key focus areas for the business retail market

From the Vision UKWRC identified 5 Key Focus Areas, i.e.


  • Metering in the NHH Market – the need for improved availability, quality, consistency and lower cost of customers’ consumption data.
  • Market economics, reflecting efficient cost recovery and a balance of risk and reward between participants.
  • Customer service – Wholesaler alignment and incentivisation with the interests of the NHH Market.
  • Water Efficiency in the NHH Market.
  • Reducing Market inconsistencies, inefficiencies and complexity.


We accept that the market can and is progressing with some of these issues but 3 areas (metering, customer service, and water efficiency) relate directly to Wholesalers’ PR24 investment plans.
