OFGEM OPENS INVESTIGATION INTO ELECTRICITY NETWORK COMPANY 
 
 
Energy regulator, Ofgem has opened an investigation into allegations of abuse of 
a dominant position by electricity distribution company Electricity North West 
Limited (ENW). 
 
 
The allegations relate to the terms imposed by ENW on independent networks 
connecting to ENW's pre-existing network; and whether these terms foreclose the 
market to competitors in the area in which ENW is the incumbent Distribution 
Network Operator. 
 
 
The investigation is under section 18 of the Competition Act 1998 (the Chapter 
II prohibition).
