Resumo(s)
Balancing affordable prices for consumers with operators’ financial sustainability is the primary regulatory pillar of the water supply sector. Because many retailers in Portugal remain municipality-managed, there may be political incentives to understate costs, thus sustaining lower tariffs. Therefore, it becomes imperative for the regulator to optimize the tariff-setting procedure. The project encompassed three main steps: grouping comparable operators; selecting the best practice within each group; and developing a financial model to be used as the starting point for decision-making. Finally, recent developments in the industry are noteworthy, as private investors are increasingly interested in infrastructure, providing there is an enabling regulatory environment and innovative atmosphere.
