Northumbrian Water ‒ Cost Efficiency Draft Determination Appendix
July 2019 Trust in water Northumbrian Water ‒ Cost efficiency draft determination appendix www.ofwat.gov.uk PR19 draft determinations: Northumbrian Water - Cost efficiency draft determination appendix PR19 draft determinations: Northumbrian Water - Cost efficiency draft determination appendix 1 PR19 draft determinations: Northumbrian Water - Cost efficiency draft determination appendix 1. Wholesale water activities 1.1 Enhancement The tables below summarise the adjustments we make to set the efficient level of enhancement totex for the water resources and network plus water price controls. Where appropriate, we reallocate enhancement expenditure between enhancement activities. In the table, we present the company requested cost for each activity where we made a material challenge, after any reallocation that we may have done. Our disallowances to company enhancement proposals include a challenge on the need to invest, on the efficiency of the proposals or on the classification of the expenditure as enhancement (in which case we consider that the expenditure is covered by our base allowance). For draft determinations we make an adjustment to the enhancement allowances to account for an implicit allowance for enhancement opex included within our base models. We set out our method of estimating the opex implicit allowance in ‘Securing cost efficiency technical appendix’. Costs for new developments, new connections and addressing low pressure are now considered within wholesale water base (“botex plus”) econometric models. We show details -
