Ofgem director quits saying UK energy regulator 'put companies before consumers'

Ofgem decided to change the way it calculates the energy price cap

ONE of Ofgem’s board members has quit after accusing the energy regulator of prioritising companies over customers.

Non-executive director at Ofgem Christine Farnish said she had resigned because the “regulator didn’t get the balance right and gave too much benefit to companies at the expense of consumers”.
