Martin Crouch is Partner, European Strategy and Environment. He leads the team which provides Ofgem’s input into developing genuinely competitive and sustainable European gas and electricity markets and facilitating the transition to a low carbon energy sector.
He joined Ofgem as Director, Electricity Distribution in January 2003. He was responsible for the fourth electricity distribution price review which introduced new regulatory mechanisms, provided for significant increases in investment and increased emphasis on outputs and environmental incentives. He oversaw the introduction of annual cost reporting after the review and has directed reviews of charging, competition in connections and distributed energy.
Prior to joining Ofgem, Martin worked for an electricity company on commercial, financial and regulatory issues, including the sales of two British distribution and supply businesses and the renegotiation of financial arrangements for a power station joint venture. Before that, he was an economic consultant at National Economic Research Associates (NERA) working primarily on regulatory and industry restructuring projects in the energy sector.
