The Energy Networks Association acts as Code Administrator for the CiC Code of Practice. It will look to follow Ofgem’s Code Administrator Code of Practice (CACoP) wherever possible.

The CiC Code of Practice seeks to follow the principles set out in the CACoP, and Ofgem’s approved changes to CACoP 26th August 2015 will mean that the CiC Code of Practice will ensure that it communicates with industry codes.
