About MOSL
We are the market operator for the non-household water retail market in England, which opened in April 2017 enabling more than 1.2 million business customers to choose who supplies their retail water and wastewater services.
We sit at the centre of the market, with access to central market data, processing more than 90,000 transactions each day through the Central Market Operating System (CMOS).
We're responsible for the day-to-day smooth running of the market, enabling new companies to enter the market, customers to switch and settlement to take place. We also ensure that everyone involved is held to account for their performance in delivering the best possible service to business customers.
We also work with retailers, wholesalers, customers, and key stakeholders, such as the water regulator, Ofwat, to identify and implement ways to improve the market through our key improvement programmes.
Our purpose is to advance simple and effective water markets to unlock value and choice for customers.
Our vision is to use our collective expertise and independent insight to deliver the best customer outcomes.
We’re delivering on these through our four strategic priorities:
- Market confidence – Be a trusted market operator that assures market performance and resilience
- Market systems – Provide secure and efficient technology to meet future market needs
- Water security – Drive data and information to enable the nonhousehold market to positively affect water consumption
- Market evolution – influence policy and promote solutions to support a flourishing market
