OFFICE OF GAS AND ELECTRICITY MARKETS

The 'Office of Gas and Electricity Markets' ('Ofgem'), working for the 'Gas and Electricity Markets Authority' ('GEMA'), is the government regulator for the electricity and downstream natural gas markets in Great Britain. It was formed by the merger of the 'Office of Electricity Regulation' ('OFFER') and 'Office of Gas Supply' ('Ofgas'). Its primary duty is to “promote choice and value for all gas and electricity customers".
Its main powers derive from the Gas Act 1986, the Electricity Act 1989, the Competition Act 1998, the Utilities Act 2000, the Enterprise Act 2002 and the Energy Act 2004.
