The government wrote to Ofgem on 17 July 2014 regarding its intentions to consult on amending the current GB ownership unbundling provisions which prescribe the circumstances in which transmission companies may also have interests in production or supply. This government wants to see an energy market that delivers the investment we need to meet our objectives and support economic growth and has the confidence of market participants. We have now issued a call for comments seeking views from interested stakeholders on the draft regulations to amend the ownership unbundling provisions of the Electricity Act 1989 and Gas Act 1986 to introduce further flexibility and to give Ofgem greater discretion in its consideration of certification cases that do not present risk of any harmful outcome.
