The Code Administrators Code of Practice (CACoP) Forum is conducting the CACoP survey this year, as requested by Ofgem. This survey allows you to evaluate the performance of various Code Administrators. It was postponed last year due to Energy Code Reform, so REC are pleased to resume it and hear your feedback. Respond to the survey before the closing date of 15 November 2024. Please note, only one response per individual code should be completed. For any queries, contact box.CACoP@uk.nationalenergyso.com.
