Assessment of the ICRC's Proposed Regulatory Model
8 April 2013
By Ann Whitfield, Tom Graham, and Julian Secomb
In this report for ACTEW Water (ACTEW), a NERA team led by Associate Director Ann Whitfield assesses the Australian Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission’s (ICRC) proposed regulatory model for the forthcoming Price Determination period, as set out in its 2013 Draft Report on ACTEW's regulated water and sewerage services. The report reviews and critiques the ICRC's proposal to depart from a regime in which allowed revenues and prices are determined on a five-yearly basis, to one in which they are determined on a two-yearly basis, beginning in 2013.
