Abstract
Relates to SI 2013/1582, which enable the creation of Infrastructure Providers (IPs) regulated by the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) to finance and deliver large or complex high-risk water or sewerage infrastructure projects. Also provide for the procuring, licensing and regulating of an IP that is separate from a water or sewerage company (an undertaker). The regulations also lay out how the Secretary of State and/or Ofwat ‘specify’ which projects should be subject to these rules and how they ‘designate’ the company which is to become an IP licensed by Ofwat. The regulations are generic and apply to all water and sewerage undertakers and large infrastructure projects that meet the criteria.
