Future Access Pricing in the Water Sector a Discussion Paper
Water today, water tomorrow Future access pricing in the water sector A discussion paper www.ofwat.gov.uk Future access pricing in the water sector 2 Water today, water tomorrow About this document This document introduces some of the terminology, concepts and issues we will need to consider in developing a new charging rules framework for access pricing for the water sector in England and Wales. It describes: • what access pricing is and why it matters; • some of the key issues we will need to consider around access pricing; • which costs could be considered in setting access prices; and • the lessons that we can learn from other sectors. The UK Government’s Water Bill, published in June 2013, will extend the role of competition in the sector in England. This will mean new companies will have access to the systems and services provided by monopoly water and sewerage and water only companies. The Water Bill also requires us to prepare rules that monopoly companies will need to follow in setting the prices they will charge for providing access. Contents 1.

Reforming the Green Book to Achieve Better Outcomes from Infrastructure Investment: ICE Discussion Paper
Reforming the Green Book to achieve better outcomes from infrastructure investment: ICE discussion paper Executive summary If infrastructure is to play a key role in ‘levelling up’ the UK and creating better outcomes for society and the environment, it stands to reason that the appraisal and evaluation processes used to assess projects and programmes should be positioned to enable this to happen. The UK, through HM Treasury’s Green Book, is widely viewed as having among the most mature frameworks for assessing, appraising and prioritising infrastructure investment.1 However, concerns over unequal investment levels throughout the country have resulted in the government conducting a review of the Green Book, potentially leading to a re- evaluation of the methodology and guidance that determines what gets built where, who benefits and how they benefit. With £600 billion earmarked for spend on infrastructure by the end of the decade,2 the infrastructure sector is well placed to leverage investment to create additional social and environmental value and help rebuild local economies affected by Covid-19. As outlined in ICE’s report Covid-19 and the New Normal for Infrastructure Systems, society will expect to get more from infrastructure to support societal resilience and ensure the whole-life benefits of infrastructure investment are spread as widely as possible.3 This shift will drive a requirement for infrastructure to be recognised as a system, rather than as a collection of projects. The same report found strong support for the economic recovery from Covid-19 being a green one and for projects, programmes and investments across the infrastructure sector to be evaluated and prioritised on this basis. -
