Recommendation 16

We recognise that this Committee has an important role in the scrutiny of Ofgem’s activity. We expect the regulator to be carrying out its core functions and delivering on its duties. It is neither feasible nor appropriate for Parliament to scrutinise, in real time, all aspects of Ofgem’s decision-making. However, in light of its extensive failures, we commit to undertaking closer scrutiny of Ofgem. We require Ofgem, to share key decisions, performance issues, and relevant policy concerns with this Committee. This should be in addition to writing to us with its Annual Report and Accounts and making both the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer available for public scrutiny via this Committee.
