Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

I always find that the problem with Ofgem is simply that the guiding factor was not necessarily consumers, but its strange vision of locational charging. That everything was determined by an economic theory of locational charging was always the excuse, for example, when we approached it about difficulties with grid connections. I am not sure that the changes to bring sustainability will necessarily deal with that central problem with Ofgem.
