OFGEM consultation
Allocation of voluntary redress payments in the context of Enforcement cases Consultation took views on ways to improve the allocation of voluntary redress payments that are made in the context of enforcement investigations conducted by OFGEM using the Gas and Electricity Act powers. Voluntary redress payments are paid by companies investigated by OFGEM, such payments are separate from (and can be in addition to) compensation payments made directly to consumers harmed by the companies’ wrongdoing. Voluntary redress payments are in lieu of, or in addition to, a financial penalty. OFGEM decides the allocation of voluntary redress payments after they’ve agreed payment amount with the company. In 2014 and 2015 £73.5million was paid to charitable organisations and benefitted 223,000 customers.
