In the publication of the July Draft Determinations for slow-track companies, Ofwat has made some adjustments to Outcome Delivery Incentives (ODIs). 2. We are pleased that on the whole our ODI’s in the round remain broadly in line with our Draft Determination following some changes at the Initial Assessment of Plans (IAP) stage with the Early Certainty Principle (ECP) providing some protection in this area. 3. This view of our ODIs is based on retaining the internal sewer flooding enhanced outperformance rate, which we represented on at our Draft Determination in April. The intervention at Draft Determination if applied would have a material impact on our outperformance payments (up to £1m outperformance a year). 4. We are restating our initial Draft Determination representation regarding internal sewer flooding enhanced outperformance rates and there are some clarifications and observations that we are making within our representation as follows on: • Leakage performance commitment rates • Priority services register reporting guidance • Pollutions • D-MeX • Compliance risk index (CRI). 3 Internal sewer flooding enhanced outperformance rates 5. We consider our proposed internal sewer flooding enhanced rate to be based on customers’ views, appropriate and balanced and not an outlier compared to other companies enhanced rates.

  • Hafren Dyfrdwy – Outcomes Performance Commitment
    July 2019 Trust in water Hafren Dyfrdwy ‒ Outcomes performance commitment appendix www.ofwat.gov.uk PR19 draft determinations: Hafren Dyfrdwy - Outcomes performance commitment appendix PR19 draft determinations: Hafren Dyfrdwy - Outcomes performance commitment appendix This appendix sets out in detail the performance commitments and outcome delivery incentives we are putting in place for Hafren Dyfrdwy for the period 2020-2025. This is a technical document to specify clearly the company’s performance commitments and outcome delivery incentives. This document is not intended to substitute the information that Hafren Dyfrdwy should provide to its customers on its outcomes and performance commitments. This appendix sets out each of the company’s performance commitments and associated outcome delivery incentives, firstly for common and then for bespoke performance commitments. The appendix provides the following information on each performance commitment: • the name and unique identifier of the performance commitment; • a summary of the purpose and benefits of the performance commitment. The definitions and other terms set out in the performance commitment should be considered to be authoritative in determining the company’s commitments and incentives under the performance commitment; • the detailed definition of the performance commitment. Where these refer to, and incorporate, linked information as part of the description of any aspect of these definitions (for example documents on the Ofwat or other website, or an attachment to the performance commitment), the linked information should be considered to be authoritative in interpreting the definitions of the performance commitment, unless otherwise stated. It is the company’s responsibility to report accurate and complete information and it must have adequate processes in place to do this.

  • Bristol Water – Response to 2019/20 Data for Base Cost Models – Working Paper
    BRISTOL WATER – RESPONSE TO 2019/20 DATA FOR BASE COST MODELS – WORKING PAPER Response to 2019/20 data for base cost models – working paper 1.1 Summary 1. In its working paper, the CMA is proposing to adopt an unjustified position that is not evidenced in relation to the base cost models. The CMA is proposing not to use the most recent data it has available, despite there being no conclusive evidence that there are issues with the data. 2. We can find no compelling reason why a rational and unbiased assessment would omit the 2019/20 water cost data from the modelling. In particular: • The amount that costs increased in 2019/20 was below the AMP6 trend, which undermines the assertion that costs in 2019/20 were atypically high. • Including the latest data does not reduce the statistical performance of the models. Indeed, one of the model coefficients becomes statistically significant with the inclusion of the data. • The potential examples of companies that have brought base costs forward are speculative, with not a single robust case of water service base expenditure definitely being brought forward from AMP7. • While it is possible that some companies may have brought forward some small amount of expenditure to 2019/20 from AMP7, the CMA has ignored the fact that its models include data from 2014/15, the last year of AMP5. It has provided no assessment of whether a similar phenomenon happened in 2014/15. • In setting performance targets the CMA considered outturn service levels for 2019/20. By considering the performance but not the costs, the CMA is creating a further disconnect between costs and service levels.

  • Service Delivery Report 2019-20 Introduction
    Service delivery report 2019-20 Introduction The service delivery report provides comparative information on both the total expenditure (totex) and the outcomes delivered to customers, as reported by the 17 largest companies within England and Wales. This report provides comparative information on important areas of performance. It should not be read as a final statement on performance, but is intended to supplement the more detailed information in companies’ Annual Performance Reports (APRs). This information will help us – and stakeholders such as customer groups, environmental groups and investors – to hold companies to account. This report is based on performance data for the last year of the 2015-20 price control period and also demonstrates trends in totex and outcomes across the five-year control period. Similar to the report in 2018-19, we: • provide comparative ranking of companies’ performance • present overall performance on total expenditure and outcome delivery in a single, tabulated view; and • examine longer-term changes on key indicators For 2019-20 we also include per capita consumption in our assessments of outcome delivery. We present an assessment of the shadow customer measure of experience (C-MeX) instead of service incentive mechanism (SIM) and include commentary on the developer services and business retail markets. This year, we also focus more closely on two areas – leakage and environmental performance. For environmental performance, we set out a selection of some of the company specific performance commitments companies were set for 2015-20 and how they have performed. By their nature these are less comparable across companies. Improving life through water | Gwella bywyd drwy ddŵr | 2 Key messages Our analyses of companies’ relative performance in 2019-20 demonstrates that Wessex Water is a better performing company for a second consecutive year.
