Overview

The Cost of Capital network supports UKRN members in setting appropriate allowed returns on capital and, where required, collaborate on commissioning related financial analysis. The group shares ideas, information and best practice in relation to the assessment of the cost of capital and the setting of allowed returns for regulated companies, providing peer reviews of regulators’ proposals, and facilitating cost of capital-related training and networking opportunities for network members and relevant colleagues.

The group also aims to improve transparency of decisions around setting the cost of capital, including through publishing annual UKRN reports, as well as considering wider finance and investment issues.
