Article summary

Ofgem has launched a consultation on proposals to modify the Gas Supply Licence and Electricity Supply Licence standard conditions in order to reflect the changes being brought about by the Switching Significant Code Review (SCR) and to introduce code requirements needed for faster and more reliable switching of gas and electricity arrangements. Ofgem’s proposed amendments address, among other things, the definition for Standard Condition, the obligation on licensees to improve switching systems, as well as the requirements on the new supplier where a domestic customer cancels a contract with a licensee. Ofgem welcomes views from license holders along with interested stakeholders and the public until 5 pm on 24 January 2022.
