The Office of Energy Regulation (Energiekamer) is charged with regulating the Electricity Act 1998 and Gas Act. This regulatory body comes under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and operates as a chamber within the Netherlands Competition Authority (NMa). This allows for effective synergy between Energiekamer and departments of the NMa.

At present EK employs 70 fulltime staff from various disciplines, such as economics, engineering, law and public administration. Mr P.J. (Peter) Plug is Director of Energiekamer. A delegation scheme exists granting a mandate, subprocuration authority and powers of attorney to the Director and Unit Managers for matters relating to the Electricity Act 1998 and the Gas Act and for all remaining matters dealt with by the Office of Energy Regulation.
