Frame­work de­ter­mi­na­tions (Lev­el 1)

• Ongoing proceedings

The framework determination could, for example, set out the basic system for the future regulation of electricity and gas distribution and transmission system operators. The determination at this level would describe the elements that such a regulatory system would need to have. Questions that could arise include:

• How long is a regulatory period?
• Is there individual efficiency benchmarking – for electricity and gas?
• Is there a general sectoral productivity factor?
• Is there an adjustment rule for certain types of costs (permanently non-controllable costs, capital costs)?
• Are there still special rules for small network operators, similar to the simplified procedure, and if so, which rules?
