Data Communications Company (DCC) price control consultation: regulatory year 2024 to 2025

Consultation description

The Data Communications Company (DCC) is required to report price control information by 31 July, following each regulatory year.

It must report its price control information in accordance with the Regulatory Instructions and Guidance (RIGS) that we publish. In this document we review whether the costs DCC reported for regulatory year 2024/25 and forecast years are economic and efficient and set out our proposals.

DCC can also propose an adjustment to its Baseline Margin values. We assess its proposal and determine whether or not to adjust the Baseline Margin values agreed when the licence was awarded. We also explain our assessment of DCC’s application to adjust its External Contract Gain Share values.

We welcome your views on our proposals and will consider them when we make our decision.
