No. 21/12/2004
The Gas and Electricity Markets Authority has closed its investigation into United Utilities Electricity plc because it has decided that there are no grounds for action.
Following an investigation under the Competition Act 1998, the Authority has concluded that there are insufficient grounds to find that United Utilities Electricity plc had infringed Chapter II of the Act.
The Authority found United Utilities Electricity PLC was dominant within the meaning of the Chapter II prohibition in the market for the provision of point of connection information at the time of the alleged abuse. The Authority has however concluded that there are insufficient grounds to find that United Utilities Electricity PLC has abused its dominant position by providing point of connection information to its affiliated company United Utilities Networks more promptly than to companies competing with United Utilities Networks in the downstream market for the provision of connections.
