Mr. Boswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on (a) the difficulties in the process
of introducing full competition in the domestic electricity market two years ago, (b) the undertakings he gave on the timetable for
market opening and (c) the actions he took to accelerate the process of market opening. [85609]
Mr. Battle: On coming to office, it was clear that the Government would have to give a strong lead to this work in order to see it
successfully completed. I commissioned a report from the then DGES on the status of the programme soon after taking office. That
report and one from his programme manager was published on 29 May 1997 and provided a sound way forward upon which the industry was
prepared to commit to delivery.
Among the difficulties which have been faced have been the sheer size of the task and the level of technical complexity involved.
The task of putting in place the vital IT infrastructure which is required to make the competition process work was one of the
largest and most difficult in the world. I have worked hard to ensure that competition was introduced in a sensible, systematic way
which ensured that customers were paramount and have conducted a series of meetings with the companies, the Regulator, the
Electricity Pool and the programme managers to ensure that any difficulties were ironed out.
It was intended by the previous Government that supply competition would be introduced from April 1998. However, a realistic
programme of work had not been put in place to support delivery by that date. Despite the efforts of the industry during 1998, the
April date proved unachievable with fully tested systems. At a meeting I held on 22 January 1998 with the DGES, representatives from
the electricity industry agreed to accept a target of rolling out competition between September 1998 and June 1999. The first areas
to open to full competition did so on 14 September last year. Competition was introduced in each PES area in three planned stages
over six months. A comprehensive testing programme was put in place to establish whether systems could interact effectively. The
market was declared fully open on 24 May, a month ahead of schedule, by the DGES. The DGES will be monitoring for some time to come
to ensure that the mechanics supporting the change of supplier process are working effectively and that the companies adopt a
reasonable approach to doorstep selling. Consumers across the country should now benefit from lower prices and a better level of
service.

Mrs. Brinton: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment he has made of the rate of progress in the reform
of the electricity pool. [84641]
Mr. Battle: The White Paper on `Fuel Sources for Power Generation (Cm 4071)' published in October 1998 confirmed the Government's
intention to proceed with the replacement of the Electricity Pool with new trading arrangements. Work to develop the details of the
new market arrangements is being led by DTI and Offer with strong industry and consumer involvement. I expect this development work
to be complete in July. The final date for the full implementation of the new market will be announced in the light of that work.
