PR09 Phase 4
Implementation of price limits and evaluation of the price review
Companies will have to decide whether to accept the price limits we will set in November 2009 or to seek referral to the Competition Commission.
In January/ February 2010 we will approve the companies' charges schemes for 2010 – 2015, setting out how the price limits translate into customers' bills.
The new price limits will come into effect on 1 April 2010. We will carry out an evaluation of the price review process during April to September 2010. The report will be published on this website.
