Electralink has appointed Stefan Leedham to a newly created role to help manage changes stemming from the Competition and Markets Authority investigation.
Leedham will join Electralink as governance service operations manager to support users of the firm’s managed industry codes and help industry participants manage the changes from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Leedham will also design and deliver a Centralised Registration Service, to enable faster switching of energy customers.
Leedham joins from EDF Energy where he led the team that looked after smart metering policy and was involved in the CMA report. He has extensive experience in energy policy and regulation having worked with all the industry codes, price controls for the distribution and transmission networks, as well as development of the Electricity Market Reform delivery arrangements.
Electralink chief executive Stuart Lacey said: “We’re delighted to welcome Stefan to the Electralink team. We’ve been developing our offering to energy participants to better support them in this period of unprecedented change, and Stefan’s new role will be instrumental in helping our users to navigate this period.
“ElectraLink itself has been going through our own transformation, upgrading the Data Transfer Network to carry more data across vital industry data flows, as well as recruiting the expertise necessary to navigate the coming years. Stefan will play a vital role in supporting our customers.”
Speaking about his new role, Leedham said: “ElectraLink has demonstrated its ability to procure and deliver large scale change by working collaboratively with its stakeholders and I am looking to continuing that collaboration to successfully deliver the next period of change in this constantly evolving industry”.
The company, which provides governance services and a regulated data transmission service to the gas and electricity market, is tipped as a logical supplier for the new Ofgem database of disengaged consumers recommended by the CMA.
