Price review 1999
In 1999 we set price limits that applied between 2000 and 2005. The review took place in three stages:
- developing the framework – we consulted on our approach to the price review and our information requirements
- decisions and determinations – the Secretaries of State issued guidance to us, companies submitted their draft business plans to us, and we published our determinations
- implementation – companies published their monitoring plans and the new price limits came into force
The 1999 price review was the first time we published our draft determinations into the public domain for comment.
Companies were able to refer our decision to the Competition Commission, and two did so – Mid Kent Water and Sutton & East Surrey Water.
Our 1999 final determinations document is available to download.
Additional documents from the 1999 price review are available on our legacy site, or by contacting us.
