DECC Gas and Electricity Markets Authority Chair
Gas and Electricity Markets Authority Chair The Gas & Electricity Markets Authority (GEMA) determines strategy, takes all major decisions and sets policy priorities for the work of Ofgem, Great Britain’s regulator of gas and electricity markets. These industries occupy a central position in our economy through their contribution to GDP. The energy sector faces significant challenges in the next few years. We need to tackle climate change and major investment is necessary to replace generating capacity and upgrade the grid. Ofgem will have a key role to play in ensuring this is done in a way that provides best value to consumers.
The Authority’s primary duty is to look after the interests of gas and electricity consumers, present and future, wherever appropriate, by promoting effective competition. It is also required to have regard to broader Government policies on relevant social and environmental issues, and the security of gas and electricity supply, within the framework of competitive energy markets. Increasingly, its work will focus on the implications for regulation in Great Britain of the development of EU energy policies in moves to create a single energy market. Ofgem also delivers a number of Government environmental programmes.
Chair
Two / three days a week, £170,000 to £190,000 for three days and any other arrangement pro rata.
Providing visible leadership to the Board, and within and outside Ofgem, you will shape the Authority’s strategic direction, planning and setting the vision and agenda for GEMA in the longer term. You will ensure Ofgem is equipped to discharge its statutory duties and fit for purpose in the longer term, as well as overseeing the delivery of its capability. Representing the Authority externally and fostering appropriate relationships inside and outside government will also form an important part of the job.
With experience of the private sector and ability to lead a high profile board you will have a sound understanding of the economic issues that shape the market and the ability to quickly understand and challenge complex assessments and options involving economic, environmental and business considerations. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to handle the media and engage stakeholders proactively and explain GEMA’s decisions to lay and specialist audiences.
For further information please contact Odgers Berndtson on 020 7529 1029 quoting reference NAO/40760. Closing date for applications is midnight, Monday 14th January 2013.
