NI Water PC28

PC28 is the Utility Regulator’s fifth price control for NI Water. It is due to commence on 1 April 2028. 

NI Water is responsible for providing water and sewerage services in Northern Ireland. The company’s role is to deliver efficient water and sewerage services to consumers based around their needs and priorities, and to protect the environment for the benefit of all residents of Northern Ireland. Because NI Water is a natural monopoly, it is subject to economic regulation which ensures that NI Water undertakes its role at an efficient price for consumers.

Under the price control process, NI Water submits its business plan for the price control period. We consult with stakeholders and provide scrutiny and challenge of the company’s plan. We then determine if the proposed expenditure is efficient and sufficient to deliver against its established need. During the price control period, we monitor NI Water’s performance against the determined costs, and the agreed outputs and targets.

Below shows the latest timeline in delivering PC28.
