Ofgem Licenses Tesla to Sell Electricity Across Great Britain

Regulatory clearance positions the company as a new electricity supplier with rollout details still to come.

Overview

  • The licence took effect Wednesday evening after Ofgem entered the instrument in its public register.
  • Authorization covers domestic and non‑domestic customers across England, Scotland and Wales.
  • Ofgem approved the application after a seven‑month review and will monitor compliance on consumer protection, billing transparency and financial responsibility.
  • Tesla sought electricity‑only permissions, so it will not offer dual‑fuel bundles that include gas.
  • Tesla has not announced UK tariffs or a start date, though its Powerwall base, Megapack projects and virtual power plant capabilities are expected to underpin the offer.
