GWI Analysts' Report: Water in England and Wales to 2020: Risks and Opportunities in AMP6

DUBLIN, Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets

(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/54khvh/gwi_analysts) has announced the addition of the "GWI Analysts' Report: Water in England and Wales to 2020: Risks and Opportunities in AMP6" report to their offering.

Every five years, the regulated water companies in England and Wales put forward their expenditure plans to Ofwat, the sector's economic regulator, for approval. The Price Review (PR14) for Asset Management Plan 6 (AMP6) reaches its conclusion in December 2014 when Ofwat publishes its Final Determination for each company in the period 2015-2020.

This process opens a window of opportunity for suppliers to the sector to sell into a £40 billion market. It also marks an important transition for those involved in financing expenditure in the industry: previous price reviews have led to dramatic changes in the financial structure of the industry. Whatever your involvement in this market, we can help.
