In particular Ofgem investigated whether Power Balancing Services Ltd provided false or misleading information to the Delivery Body regarding whether it had obtained all relevant planning consents in relation to certain Capacity Market Units (CMU’s) which participated in the T-4 capacity Auction in December 2014.
