Gas Distribution Price Control Review - Third Consultation Document

This document sets out our initial thoughts on the other possible incentive schemes and arrangements which taken together with RPI-X we think will best protect customer interests. The document includes a discussion of the high level framework of the price control, quality of service, price control incentives on capex, opex, mains replacement, network capacity and network extensions. The GDNs have also supplied us with their forecast costs for the period 2008-09 to 2012-13. To give context to the policy debate we have published this data while we carry out our assessment of these forecasts.
