In 2001, a British utility asked NERA Director Graham Shuttleworth to review the regulatory regimes for electricity networks in six European Countries: Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.
NERA's aim was to identify new methods and issues that might arise in UK regulation, and also to appraise the regulatory framework in each country from the point of view of potential investors. The report covered a number of topics, such as: the prospects for recovery of investments; the regulated firm’s ability to increase profits by increasing efficiency; and important regulatory risks that would need to be investigated further as part of a detailed investment appraisal process.
The utility adopted the report’s findings as a component of its overseas investment strategy.
