Die kalkulatorischen Eigenkapitalzinssätze für Strom- und Gasnetze in Deutschland (Allowed Return on Equity for German Electricity and Gas Networks)
12 June 2008
By Dr. Richard Hern and Tomas Haug
On behalf of BDEW, the industry body for the German energy, gas, and water sectors, NERA Director Dr. Richard Hern and Associate Director Tomas Haug prepared an expert report on the allowed return on equity for German electricity and gas networks. Dr. Hern and Mr. Haug then presented the findings of the NERA study in Berlin to key industry representatives, the Bundesnetzagentur (the German network regulator), and to the Ministry of Economics. In late June 2008, the NERA report was published by German publishing house VDEW-Verlag. This article, published in the June 2008 edition of Energiewirtschaftliche Tagesfragen, is a summary of the report.
