About Consultation
This document considers the proposals of the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) about the way in which regulated water and wastewater companies should demonstrate that they are financially resilient over the longer term. In our July 2015 consultation on the financial monitoring framework, one of our proposals was that regulated companies should stress test their financial plans and publish the results of those stress tests to demonstrate that they are financially resilient over the longer term. This consultation considers an alternative approach and seeks comments from interested parties on these proposals.
