Utility regulation and finance: principles of economic regulation

Over the course of more than 40 years, Oxera has developed and run training courses to help companies, regulators, investors, policymakers and lawyers to develop their knowledge of economic regulation and understand the key building blocks of a price review.

Economic regulators make decisions that shape the prices that customers pay, set expectations around company performance, and allocate risks between investors and customers. For regulators and policymakers, good economic regulation is critical to protecting customers, ensuring the right outcomes are delivered and securing value for money. For companies, and their investors and legal advisers, economic regulation is a key driver of value and risk.

This course will cover the following:

Why infrastructure companies are subject to economic regulation
How economic regulators set price caps for regulated companies
How efficient costs are determined
How the cost of capital is calculated
How regulators monitor and incentivise delivery
What this all means for regulated industries

Regardless of which side of the table you sit on, a strong understanding of the theory and practice of economic regulation can help you to make a positive difference for your organisation and for society.

Whether you are directly involved in developing regulatory frameworks and submissions or simply interested in gaining a better understanding of how regulation affects your sector, you will come away from this course with a comprehensive grounding in the principles of economic regulation and how it is applied in practice.

Our course leaders enjoy sharing their expertise, underpinning their teaching with examples from their experience and case studies to bring the technical concepts to life.
