About Consultation
This is a consultation on the issues arising out of the change of control of Thames Water Utilities Limited, as well as a broader consultation highlighting some of the issues we are considering as part of our continuing sector wide work to explore how companies’ licences can be reformed to help ensure that water companies put customers’ interests at the heart of what they do.
It sets out:
- Our approach to, and licence changes related to, a change of control of a water (and/or wastewater) company1 (an “Appointee”).
- Some further areas of the licence which we think could be improved.
- Our assessment for Thames Water following recent changes of ownership and control.
- The proposed modifications to the conditions of the Instrument of Appointment (‘licence’) of Thames Water following the recent change of control.

The closing date for this consultation is 8 June 2018.
