Notice of decision not to make a Final Order

On 9 June 2023 the Authority issued a Notice of Proposal to issue a Final Order (“FO”) on Foxglove Energy Supply Ltd (“Foxglove”) under section 26(1) and (2) of the Electricity Act 1989 (the “Electricity Act”) and section 29(1) and (2) of the Gas Act 1986 (the “Gas Act”).



The Authority was satisfied that Foxglove was contravening and was likely to continue to contravene Standard Licence Condition (“SLC”) 4A. The particular behaviour of concern giving rise to the proposed FO was that Foxglove had consistently failed to respond accurately or on time to the Authority’s Requests for Information issued under SLC 5 of the electricity and gas supply licences. 



The Authority noted the representations received in the context of the consultation undertaken pursuant to section 26(1) of the Electricity Act and section 29(1) of the Gas Act.



On 21 July 2023, the Authority concluded that Foxglove had improved its operational capability such that it was able to respond accurately and on time to any Requests for Information from the Authority. 



Therefore, on 21 July 2023, the Authority made a decision not to make a FO.

On 13 June 2023, the Authority issued a notice of proposal to make a final order on Foxglove Energy Supply Ltd (“Foxglove”) in accordance with section 26(1) of the Electricity Act 1989 and section 29(1) of the Gas Act 1986. The behaviour of concern giving rise to the proposal is that Foxglove is contravening or is likely to contravene the operational principle (Standard Licence Condition 4A). Any representations or objections with respect to this notice of proposal to make a final order are to be made to the Authority by 4 July 2023.
