Course Outline

The ERRA Regulatory tools for Capital Expenditure Review and Assessment online course is a step-by-step practical overview of the measures regulators can employ to review and assess the reasonableness of capital expenditure projects proposed by regulated licensees. This time we continue our partnership with seasoned experts from DNV-GL and will focus on integrating capital expenditure in the regulatory asset base, methods for assessing capital expenditure projects and quantifying costs and benefits under CBA analysis and regulatory considerations in asset stranding. Discussions will be followed by excel calculations to enhance practical learning opportunities.
