Regulation and Legislation
The House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee is continuing its inquiry into drought preparedness in England by exploring the impact of drought on the agricultural sector and opportunities to increase resilience.
Ofwat has invited water companies to submit proposals for additional enhancement investment in AMP8 linked to demand growth, saying that ensuring sufficient treatment and network capacity to connect new housing and businesses is critical.
Environmental Standards Scotland (ESS) has written to Scottish Water and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) to welcome their commitment to work together to develop a new analytical tool to identify instances where storm overflows in Scotland may be spilling in dry weather.
Water sector regulator Ofwat has found that SES Business Water has overcharged customers – despite directing the company in January 2023 to comply with price protection requirements set out in the Retail Exit Code (REC).
More than £4 million of potential bonuses were blocked by Ofwat’s new rule on water bosses’ performance related pay in the last financial year as firms chose to comply, according to the water sector economic regulator’s latest performance related executive pay report published today.
