This week our Director General of Infrastructure, Akshay Kaul, visited Kincardine Offshore Windfarm, the largest commercial floating windfarm in the world.    He met with infrastructure stakeholders from Flotation Energy & Riverswan Energy to hear their thoughts on the challenges and opportunities involved in delivering projects like Kincardine.    Visits like this help us to understand whether there are any regulatory blockers or risks we should be aware of as well as our role in offshore project delivery.     As we move forward in our energy transition, we want the UK energy market to remain attractive for investors, whilst delivering safe and reliable energy to consumers. We are committed to finding the right balance —one that benefits consumers with the best possible deals and keeps investors engaged in the UK's dynamic energy sector.   Also attending from Ofgem were Stuart Borland and Yvonne Naughton.

This morning, members of our executive board visited the Fuel Bank Foundation at Queensborough Community Centre on the Scovell Estate in Southeast London. Fuel Bank Foundation is the only UK charity to focus on the challenges of people living in fuel crisis.   Given Ofgem’s emphasis on supporting vulnerable consumers and the issue of forced prepayment meter installation in recent years, this visit offered a valuable chance for Ofgem decision makers to explore the support that is available to energy consumers, gain insight into the consumers ‘lived experience’ and directly understand FBF’s efforts to address the issue of fuel crisis.   We would like to thank those who took time out of their days to host us and explain the issues that they are facing and look forward to working with them in the future to better support energy consumers.
