LONDON: The UK water regulator is for the first time considering boosting returns for investors, after the crisis at Thames Water pushed up the cost of borrowing across the industry.
Under current plans proposed by Ofwat, equity investors will get a return of 4.8% for the next five-year price control period that starts in April.
