Water

NERA's Water Practice helps water companies, investors, governments, and multinational institutions successfully cope with the economic and regulatory issues related to the water and wastewater industries. Our work spans more than 25 countries where we often act as economic advisor during development of new laws, restructuring and privatization, whether on the sell- or buy-side, often focusing on the design of matching regulatory frameworks and concession contracts, and on modeling their financial and tariff implications.

We routinely contribute expert advice and testimony during subsequent development of regulations and their application in cases of all sorts including the re-setting of rates and tariffs. We also have special expertise in the economics of water as an environmental resource, which is drawn on in advising on property rights reform, the design of trading and taxation arrangements, and appraisal of proposition for environmental improvement or development.
