Making gas and electricity markets work effectively 
Regulating monopoly businesses intelligently 
Securing Britain's gas and electricity supplies 
Meeting its increased social and environmental responsibilities

Every Ofgem department works to its own Service Level Agreements (SLA). The Resource Information Centre (RIC) is often the first point of contact for an external enquiry and takes on most queries. If it is not one for Ofgem, they will try to direct the enquirer to the best source of information.

The RIC work to a SLA that requires all external enquiries should receive an acknowledgement within 5 days and a substantive response within 30 days.
