Consultations
Developer Services Charging Arrangements Consultation
In July 2019, Ofwat published new charging rules for new connections, that come into effect on 01 April 2020. These new rules are intended to ensure all customer types are treated fairly and that cost transparency is improved between incumbents, SLPs and NAVs.
The key requirement of the new rules is that the income offset is no longer applied to requisition charges, asset payments are no longer made and any income offset is applied to infrastructure charges. Under the new rules, all types of developer customer will benefit from the income offset.
Income offset payments also reduce the transparency of costs. Removing these from requisition charges makes all quotes comparable for all different types of developer customers.
Please click on the links to view our consultation documents. Each year we seek feedback on our proposals and email the consultation to stakeholders. We will use the feedback to shape our final proposals, which we will publish in our Charging Arrangements by 1 February each year for use from 1 April that same year.
