  • Powering Britain: One Nation Labour's Plans to Reset the Energy Market
    Powering Britain: One Nation Labour’s plans to reset the energy market Contents Foreword 4 Executive Summary 5 1. A Broken Energy Market - The Case for Change 7 2. One Nation Labour’s Plan for Reform 16 3. Next Steps 29 Foreword One Nation Labour is determined to tackle the cost of living crisis. Millions of families right across our country are seeing their wages rising more slowly than prices. Millions of businesses are struggling to succeed, with their costs going up and the odds stacked against them. Energy that is affordable is essential for all of these families and businesses. The energy market, above all markets, must work for all. But Britain’s energy market is broken. When the gas and electricity businesses were privatised in the 1980s, the Conservative government promised a competitive market that would deliver a better deal for consumers, competitive prices and sustained investment. Over 25 years later, it is acutely clear that privatisation has failed to deliver on this promise. Gas and electricity prices are uncompetitive. Bills are rising year on year. The market has failed to unlock the investment the country needs. Public trust and consent has been lost. A One Nation Labour Government will reset this market to ensure we deliver on the original promise of privatisation. We will create a genuinely competitive market that works for Britain’s families and Britain’s businesses. And government will take greater responsibility for enabling the investment that will guarantee our energy for generations to come. Britain deserves better than a government that stands up for a privileged few and an economy that doesn’t work for millions of working people.

  • SSE’S Response
    Non-confidential version 1. Section 1 - A Summary of SSE’s Response 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This document sets out SSE plc’s (SSE) formal response (the Response) to the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) Statement of Issues dated 24 July 2014 (the Issues Statement). 1.1.2 In the Issues Statement, the CMA articulates four theories of harm (the Theories of Harm). The Response first sets out an overview of SSE’s role in the competitive GB energy market before addressing each Theory of Harm in turn. 1.2 Ensuring liquidity and transparency in wholesale electricity markets CMA Theory of Harm 1:“Opaque prices and low levels of liquidity in wholesale electricity markets create barriers to entry in retail and generation, perverse incentives for generators and/or other inefficiencies in market functioning” SSE’s assessment 1.2.1 SSE plays an active role in the competitive GB wholesale markets—it operates over 10,000 MW of capacity for generating electricity (including investing in the largest portfolio of capacity for generating electricity from renewable sources). Nevertheless, SSE recognises that, in the past, the GB market may have had lower levels of liquidity than was desirable for retailers and generators. 1.2.2 However, in recent years much work has gone into promoting liquidity in GB electricity markets with the result that liquidity for many products now matches the levels achieved in markets (such as in Germany) which are widely recognised as highly liquid. The main drivers of the increased liquidity have been industry and SSE- specific initiatives, reflecting the interests that all participants in a market have in establishing liquid trading to manage risks.

Introduction 3 2. Key policy developments 7 3. Consumer needs – current and future 16 4. Definition of adequate energy advice and redress provision 29 5. An assessment of the adequacy of current advice provision 37 6. An assessment of the adequacy of current redress provision 58 7. Proposals for improving provision 75 Appendices and a standalone executive summary are also available at www.citizensadvice.org.uk/knowing-who-can-help Page 2 of 88 Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter sets out the review objectives, the approach taken and the key limitations on the review. The review’s primary objective was to identify the changes needed to the existing regulatory and delivery framework in order to deliver optimal energy advice and redress to domestic consumers (particularly vulnerable consumers) and micro-business consumers in Great Britain. Because the commissioning organisation – the Citizens Advice Service – is itself an advice provider, a number of measures were put in place to ensure the review was robust, objective and independent. Of key importance was the development of an assessment framework, along with the collection of data to evidence performance against this. The review was limited by the non-disclosure of key information to the reviewer and weaknesses in publicly available information, in spite of these services being funded by taxpayers and consumers. Nonetheless, the review: provides a robust evaluation framework that can be applied to help drive future improvements in advice and redress provision in energy as well as other sectors provides a comprehensive, aggregate view of the performance of both energy advice and energy redress in Great Britain; and secures sufficient evidence to indicate the improvements needed to the regulatory and delivery framework to secure adequate energy advice and redress.

  • Consumer Futures Response
    Consumer Futures Mr Diego Villalobos Ofgem 9 Millbank London SW1P 3GE 6 December 2013 Dear Mr Villalobos Response to consultation, “Rebuilding consumer confidence: improving the transparency of energy company profits” Thank you for providing us with an opportunity to respond to this consultation. Our submission is entirely non-confidential and may be published on your website. We provide more detailed responses to the specific questions posed in the annex to this document, but would first like to set these responses in some context. The Consolidated Segmental Statements (“CSS”) are used to inform the public debate around the level of profits of the firms. The yardstick for whether they are a success or not is therefore whether there is evidence that they are useful or reassuring to that public audience. In their current form, we would argue that they are not. The CSS are significantly aged by the time of their release; the absence of data on trading activity means that they only give a partial picture; and the absence of full independent audit and difficulties in reconciling them with statutory accounts mean that it is hard for a third party to have confidence in their validity. We think that these deficiencies can be tackled, however their existence is not new and Ofgem has previously rejected changes in these areas. When you last consulted on amending the segmental statements in 2012, making clear that you would only partially enact the BDO recommendations, we noted that: “For the avoidance of doubt, we do not consider the CSS to be of significant use to a consumer audience at this time – or that this would be altered by the recommendations you propose to take forward” We specifically challenged whether anyone actually found the CSS useful, and argued that their value to stakeholders should be explored.

  • Decision on Our Methodology for Assessing the Equity Market Return for the Purpose of Setting RIIO-ED1 Price Controls
    To network companies, generators, suppliers, consumers and their representatives and other interested parties. Direct Dial: 020 7901 7165 Email: [email protected] Date: 17 February 2014 Dear colleague Decision on our methodology for assessing the equity market return for the purpose of setting RIIO-ED1 price controls On 6 December 2013, we published our “Consultation on our methodology for assessing the equity market return for the purpose of setting RIIO price controls”.1 Our consultation raised the issue of whether we should change our methodology for assessing the equity market return in light of the approach taken by the Competition Commission (CC) in its provisional determination for Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) published on 12 November 2013.2 We held an open workshop on this issue on 7 January 2014, and the consultation closed on 10 January 2014. We have reviewed consultation responses (see Appendix 2) and carried out further analysis of our own (see Appendix 1). This letter sets out the decision that we have reached. Our decision We have decided to give greater weight to the influence of current market conditions in relation to the equity market return. We have therefore changed our central reference point for assessing the distribution network operators’ (DNOs) cost of equity for RIIO-ED1 to 6.0 per cent. This represents a 0.3 per cent reduction from the central reference point we used for the business plan assessment, published on 22 November 2013.3 In November, we proposed to fast-track the four DNOs owned by Western Power Distribution (WPD). The decision in this letter translates to a 0.3 per cent reduction in the cost of equity that WPD set out in its business plans.
