This event has passedThe European Commission has observed significant discrepancies in NRA's estimates of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as part of their market analysis notifications.
Moreover, in addition to there being a lack of consistency across Member States, some NRAs are using different methods at different points in time.
The lack of harmonisation and such methodological inconsistencies are likely to distort investment incentives and could hinder investment in electronic communications networks.
These observations led the Commission to adopt a Notice on WACC for legacy infrastructures in November 2019. The objective is to increase the consistency of WACC calcultations across the European Union.
Furthemore, the Commission invited BEREC to estimate the WACC parameters consistent with the approach described in the Notice. BEREC agreed to estimate the parameter values and publish them annually. The first BEREC report was issued in June 2020.
The Commission WACC Notice and the BEREC report will be presented by some of their co-authors during this online seminar and will be followed by a discussion with experts and industry representatives.
