Beesley Lecture – From the Pandemic and Net Zero to PR24: The current Outlook from Ofwat

In the wake of the pandemic and PR19 and with ambitious sustainability goals on the horizon, Ofwat is getting to work on PR24.  This lecture will consider the factors that are contributing to the high level design for the new regulatory period, whether that be the importance of consumer engagement, the need for resilience in the face of climate change or the long-term investment needed to be put into aging assets, while also assessing the changes to government policy that might be needed to support future regulation.
