Ofgem sets the price controls to ensure that monopoly network companies, who run Great Britain’s #gas and #electricity networks, continue to act in the best interests of #energy consumers. In order to set the next price control (RIIO-3) which will run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031, the network companies have submitted #Business Plans containing information on the activities that they intend to undertake and their associated forecast costs and outputs. We want to hear your views on any aspect of the network companies’ Business Plans by 10 February 2025 for consideration into our RIIO-3 Final Determinations. This will help us to consider the needs of existing and future consumers and other relevant factors such as the transition to a low carbon #economy. 📧 Please send your response to RIIO3@ofgem.gov.uk as set out in the Call for Evidence ⬇ https://ow.ly/mFe050Utltp

Last week we published the Supplier Performance Report for the period January to June 2024.  Energy suppliers play a key role in delivering many of Ofgem's schemes and we expect them to comply with scheme rules. Where suppliers deliver well, they can help drive significant decarbonisation and consumer benefits. Where they don’t follow the rules, we take action, on behalf of consumers.
