A CMA investigation would cost a miniscule fraction of these amounts and achieve a similar scale of price reduction, but with greater overall effects. For example, whereas the Industrial Strategy lowers electricity prices for 7,000 manufacturers for a period of four years, starting in two years’ time, a market investigation would lower both gas and electricity prices for all types of businesses (including the other 130,000 manufacturers) permanently, starting in one year.
