Pricing and Economic Regulation
Economic regulation is required in instances to manage risks in markets with limited competition so as to improve outcomes for the community. The CIE has provided expert advice on infrastructure issues for over 30 years. Our work has included advice on infrastructure investment decisions, regulation and pricing using techniques such as cost benefit analysis and economic modelling.
We advise across a range of aspects of pricing and economic regulation:
Water, including major metropolitan utilities and regional utilities providing water for households/businesses and for non-urban activities
Electricity and gas infrastructure pricing
Transport infrastructure, ranging from urban public transport to regional and freight transport.
Local government rates analysis
Our experience includes, for example:
developing regulatory and funding frameworks relevant to the transport, water, energy, and waste sectors
developing demand projections required for requlatory submissions
developing pricing models for regulated utility services
conducting cost benefit analysis of infrastructure and policy options to improve market outcomes
advising on alternative pricing structures.
