Abstract
By 1999, the electricity and natural gas sector in Great Britain was open to retail competition, including to all residential customers. Over the next decade, the energy regulator Ofgem (Office of Gas and Electricity Markets) removed an initial transitional price cap, addressed a variety of concerns, and reported positively on the evolution of competition.
