Non-executive board member says regulator ‘gave too much benefit to companies at expense of customers’
A director at energy regulator Ofgem has resigned, accusing it of favouring businesses over consumers with a rule change that will add as much as £400 to the average UK household energy bill.
Christine Farnish, a non-executive member of the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (GEMA), Ofgem’s board, tendered her resignation to the business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng in early August.
