Ofgem accepts the recommendations of the Oxera report in full, including the development of consumer interest and competition frameworks. An ex-ante framework to define and measure consumer interests was discussed with the Board in July 2022 and is being further developed based on their feedback. Ofgem published the proposed consumer interests framework as part of the Net Zero Britain report in July and will seek further views from stakeholders. Development of the competition framework has also been launched, with the intention to deliver both frameworks as soon as possible. Ofgem is committed to apply both frameworks to decision-making across all energy regulation. All relevant Board papers will be required to factor the consumer interest and effective competition frameworks into problem identification, options analysis, and conclusions and recommendations.
