The CER's price review (PR4) covers ESB's transmission and distribution asset owner and distribution system operator businesses in the Republic of Ireland. Key aspects of the decisions include:
- a proposed five-year net capital investment plan of €2.8 billion;
- a rate of return (pre-tax, real) of 4.95%; and
- overall regulatory allowances, which should balance affordable consumer prices with the delivery of essential network infrastructure to the economy.
ESB intends to issue a further update to investors by the end of January 2016 once the full detail of the decisions has been analysed.
