Regulatory Support
- Demonstrate the impact of the Draft Determination in real terms
- Challenge Ofwat queries, assumptions and statements from the Draft Determination
- Identify more efficiencies
- Undertake a more detailed Design, Scope and Cost analysis on key FBP inclusions to support negotiations
Aqua has considerable experience of Periodic Reviews and was instrumental in the PR09 process with various UK Water Companies. Due to our multi-disciplinary nature, we were able to support the Water Companies in a number of areas of the Business Plan, including:
- Cost Base
- MEAV
- Process solution and Cost challenge
- Capital Efficiencies
- Business Plan Estimating
- Embodied and Whole Life Carbon Accounting
We understand that the Draft Determination represent a significant challenge for many Water Companies and it can make all the difference to the success of the entire AMP period to come. With this in mind, Aqua offer services to reinforce a Water Company’s stance and provide the quantitative substantiation and sensitivity analysis that is required to achieve the best possible position.
Aqua’s involvement in the next Draft Determination process can bring the following benefits to any Water Company:
- The ability to demonstrate the impact of the Draft Determination in real terms;
- The ability to challenge the Draft Determination with reasoned, independent third party analysis;
- The opportunity to identify more efficiencies by undertaking a more detailed assessment of key FBP inclusions.
The coming consultation period will have a significant bearing on Water Companies plans for AMP6. Working with your Regulatory Team, we would be pleased to explain in more detail the positive impact our work has had and explore how we can help you.
