Recommendation
We recommend that Ofgem implements the recommendations of the Oxera report in full to ensure that it has the proper frameworks for defining consumer interests and competition. We call on Ofgem to carry out rigorous quantitative impact analysis to underpin regulatory reforms and to make these publicly available for scrutiny. Ofgem must take urgent steps to improve the quality of its governance and the effectiveness of its Board by proactively challenging decisions made within the organisation, ensuring it has the necessary information and sufficient time to vigorously deliberate issues and make evidence-based decisions.
