Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will take steps to strengthen the powers of Ofgem.
The Government is currently carrying out a review of the duties of economic regulators such as Ofgem and we plan to consult later this year. The Government is also considering the recent amendment made by the House of Lords to Ofgem’s decarbonisation duty and note that on 10 May the Government published, for consultation, a Strategy and Policy Statement setting out the policy priorities and desired outcomes as a guide to Ofgem.
