REGULATORY DESIGN
Despite the prevailing sentiments of open markets and privatization of previously protected legal and natural monopolies, the industry and legislators are increasingly focusing on getting the necessary regulatory framework right. Access rights, investment incentives, industry separation interfaces, allowable information rents, commitments and risks of regulatory capture are important issues to resolve in modern regulation. SUMICSID has experience in working with the energy industry and regulators to develop modern incentive based regimes, where recent research on activity planning theory, agency theory and efficiency analysis is employed. By carefully modelling, benchmarking and analyzing the industry, important managerial and regulatory information may be generated. SUMICSID associates are continuously engaged in projects for electricity distribution, district heating, electricity cogeneration, waste disposal and gas transmission. Projects usually include feasibility studies, efficiency assessments to estimate size of rents, data collection and analysis, procedural development, training and implementation support. Among the clients we find the regulators of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, in addition to the European Commission (DG TREN). SUMICSID also manages the international transmission system operator benchmarking project ECOM+. The project website is protected and access is given only to participants. If you need access to the site and has not been awarded an account, please contact Associate BENINTENDI db@sumicsid.com or Consultant Mathias LORENZ ml@sumicsid.com. The benchmarking draws on the Charter of Accountability and results from the study is published subject to regulators' approval. Some selected research publications by the associates of SUMICSID will be available for download in Adobe PDF and Microsoft PowerPoint format.
