Tim Jarvis has been appointed as the permanent boss of Britain’s energy watchdog Ofgem, taking over from interim roles since March. He succeeds Jonathan Brearley, who stepped down after a six-year tenure marked by leadership through both the Covid-19 pandemic and the energy crisis caused by Russia's war in Ukraine. The board, under chairman Mark McAllister, emphasizes that Jarvis is "the right person to lead Ofgem through its next chapter," highlighting continuity while focusing on future challenges. This appointment comes at a critical time as the average household energy bill in England, Scotland, and Wales reached £1,723 following a 4% increase in the price cap.
