Ofgem, the UK’s energy regulator, has launched a consultation aimed at driving innovation in the retail energy market and boosting competition.
The consultation, which is open until November 15, seeks to gather views on proposals to introduce new rules and regulations that will encourage the development of new business models and technologies in the retail energy market.
According to Ofgem, the current retail energy market is characterized by a lack of competition, with the Big Six energy suppliers dominating the market.
Ofgem’s consultation proposes a number of measures to address this lack of competition, including the introduction of a new ‘default tariff’ that would be set by the regulator, rather than by individual suppliers.
The consultation also proposes the introduction of a new ‘price cap’ that would limit the amount that suppliers can charge for their default tariffs.
Ofgem’s proposals are designed to make it easier for new entrants to join the market and to encourage existing suppliers to innovate and improve their services.
Commenting on the consultation, Ofgem’s Chief Executive, Jonathan Brearley, said: ‘We want to see a retail energy market that is more competitive, more innovative, and more responsive to the needs of consumers.’
Ofgem’s consultation is an important step towards achieving this goal, and we will be watching the outcome with interest.
The consultation is open until November 15, and Ofgem is encouraging all interested parties to submit their views.

Ofgem’s consultation is a welcome development in the retail energy market, and we hope that it will lead to a more competitive and innovative market that benefits consumers.

Commenting on the consultation, a spokesperson for the Big Six energy suppliers said: ‘We welcome Ofgem’s consultation and are committed to working with the regulator to ensure that the retail energy market is more competitive and innovative.’
However, some industry experts have raised concerns that the introduction of a new default tariff and price cap could lead to a reduction in competition in the market.
According to a report by the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee, the introduction of a price cap could lead to a reduction in competition in the market, as suppliers may be less incentivized to innovate and improve their services.
However, Ofgem has argued that the introduction of a price cap is necessary to protect consumers from high energy prices.
