In December 2003 section 6 of the Sustainable Energy Act 2003 placed a duty on the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (the Authority) to carry out Impact Assessments (IAs) by inserting section 5A into the Utilities Act 2000 (the Utilities Act). In July 2004 Ofgem published draft guidance on impact assessments. Comments were invited on the proposals set out in the draft guidance and on the quality of IAs produced to date. We are grateful to those who responded. Details of non-confidential responses can be found on the Ofgem website
