Recommendation
Whilst we have been reassured by Jonathan Brearley that changes are being made to the governance, leadership, and performance of Ofgem we remain deeply concerned that such negligent behaviour was able to take place for so long. If Dermot Nolan was still in post, we would be calling for his dismissal. We therefore require the current and any future CEO and Chair of Ofgem to report annually to this Committee and to BEIS on the measures in place to ensure effective accountability and transparency required from Ofgem.
