About the Utility Regulator
The Utility Regulator is the independent non-ministerial government department
responsible for regulating Northern Ireland’s electricity, gas, water and sewerage
industries, to promote the short and long-term interests of consumers.
We are not a policy-making department of government, but we make sure that
the energy and water utility industries in Northern Ireland are regulated and
developed within ministerial policy as set out in our statutory duties.
We are governed by a Board of Directors and are accountable to the Northern
Ireland Assembly through financial and annual reporting obligations.
We are based at Queens House in the centre of Belfast. The Chief Executive
and two Executive Directors lead teams in each of the key functional areas in the
organisation: CEO Office; Price Controls; Networks and Energy Futures;
Markets; Consumer Protection and Enforcement. The staff team includes
economists, engineers, accountants, utility specialists, legal advisors and
administration professionals.
