PR24 - Draft Determinations for South West Water and Sutton and East Surrey Water
Β
Β
Ofwat has this morning published its Draft Determinations in respect of the K8 period (2025-2030).
Β
We welcome Ofwat's recognition of the quality of both business plans in the group, underpinned by significant customer and stakeholder support.
Β
South West Water's business plan for Bournemouth, Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, and the Isles of Scilly has been categorised as outstanding and is recognised as a 'leading plan'.
Β
Having acquired Sutton and East Surrey Water in January 2024, Ofwat has assessed this plan as standard, confirming this plan is 'generally good'.
Β
We will now review both draft packages proposed by Ofwat. We look forward to a constructive dialogue ahead of responding with our representations by the due date of 28 August 2024, and over the period until the Final Determinations, currently expected on 19 December 2024.
