History: A non-ministerial government department established under the Electricity Act 1989, headed by the Director General of Electricity Supply who was responsible for monitoring the activities of all licensed generators, transmitters and suppliers of electricity. The Director General exercised his powers so as to promote competition in the generation and supply of electricity; to ensure that all reasonable demands for electricity were satisfied; to protect consumers' interests on prices, security of supply and quality of service; and to promote the efficient use of electricity. The office's statutory responsibilities covered England, Wales and Scotland. In 1999 the offices of the electricity and gas industries regulators were merged to form the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (OFGEM).
