Ofwat consults on what water sector in England and Wales should look like by 2040
Water industry regulator Ofwat is launching a wide-ranging consultation across England and Wales on what the water sector should look like by 2040.
As it embarks on the design of future price reviews, Ofwat is asking some open questions about the long term goals to meet the needs of customers, the environment and wider society.
Ofwat has launched the Future Ideas Lab in order to explore how the regulator, the water sector and wider stakeholders and decision makers can meet these challenges. The Lab is intended to be a place where stakeholders can collaborate on the development of ideas for how the regulator should design future price reviews to meet the challenges and take up the opportunities that have been set out.
The regulator has published two separate discussion papers which are each seeking comment on a number of issues.
The discussion paper PR24 and beyond: Future challenges and opportunities for the water sector includes the following 12 questions:
