We're the electricity and gas regulator for Great Britain. We protect the interests of gas and electricity consumers by promoting competition and regulating monopoly network companies.

Our priority is to protect and make a positive difference for energy consumers. We do this in a variety of ways including:

• promoting value for money
• promoting security of supply and sustainability, for present and future generations of consumers, domestic and industrial users
• the supervision and development of markets and competition
• regulation and the delivery of Government schemes.

We work effectively with, but are independent of, government, the energy industry and other stakeholders within a legal framework determined by the UK government and the European Union.
