Regulatory pricing, business competitiveness, market modelling

Utility services are required to act within wholly commercial principles, requiring expertise in pricing, tariff, financial and asset management and planning models.

ACL Tasman works with both regulated businesses and regulators to provide analytical support to complex questions.

Regulatory pricing models

Regulated entities in a variety of water and energy markets have engaged ACIL Tasman to provide modelling support for the calculation of the revenue required in pricing determinations. We have also developed a variety of detailed tariff models and models of tariff basket price controls. ACIL Tasman’s suite of models includes regulatory, financial and asset management planning components.

Inveestment competitiveness model

An international benchmarking model is available to examine the attractiveness of regions for major investment. The model draws extensively on publicly available datasets on world competitiveness and is complemented by survey data.

Electricity and gas market modelling

ACIL Tasman combines consultants’ knowledge and expertise with our energy market models PowerMark, and GasMark Global to provide analytical and strategic advice on energy markets.

These models have been used by industry and government to assist in:

• asset valuations and due diligence, including risk assessment
• the timing of new developments
• gas and electricity procurement and contracting
• forecasting and scenario planning.

See our economic impact assessment, economic modelling and economic analysis case studies.
