ICE responds to Ofwat review announcement
Chair of the ICE water panel David Nickols welcomed the review.
“As ICE’s recent state of the nation report stated, the world we are living in now is very different to that when Ofwat was first set up and the regulatory framework must be reformed to reflect today’s environmental and societal challenges.
“The current investment plans do not do enough to address long-term needs, especially climate change issues including reducing carbon emissions and driving down demand. ICE fears that without significant change in the regulatory regime to drive appropriate long-term investment in sustainable infrastructure, our long-term water security could be severely jeopardised.”
