Has anybody got a source for the 'wholesale' gas and electricity prices that OFgem uses for its price cap calculations? It seems like they hide behind a 'proprietary data supply' rendering their information sources difficult to audit.

I use this and basically assume they are purchasing 3 months ahead for the cap - the exact lag can be teased out of the ofgem announcements on their website when they consulted on moving to 3-monthly resets.

Would ofgem have to provide this under a FOIA request?
