Dear Roger
Omagh - Dromore Pre-Construction Allowance Determination
This letter sets out the Utility Regulator’s decision in respect of Omagh - Dromore pre-
construction costs under paragraph 4.34 of Annex 2 of the NIE Networks Transmission
Licence.
Our decision takes account of the information provided in your submission of 21 July 2020 and
the subsequent query process.
We have determined an additional allowed CAPEX amount (ACTR_Xt) of £924,096 (2019/20
price base) for the works with all expenditure occurring in 2021/22 financial year.
The allowance provides for the activities identified in the annex to this letter resulting in a well
mitigated plan and construction estimate for the works.
We will publish the decision by uploading it to our website and including it in the public register
required under Article 57 of the Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992
Under paragraph 4.35 of Annex 2 of the NIE Networks Transmission Licence the Utility
Regulator may make a determination subject to conditions with which the Licensee shall be
required to comply, including conditions as to the monitoring, audit and reporting in relation to
the project. In respect of this determination the Licensee shall, in addition to ongoing RIGs
reporting, maintain records of costs in sufficient granularity to provide a report or reports of
costs against the headings identified in the submission of 21 July 2020 and shall report these
costs to the Utility Regulator on request. This will provide the Utility Regulator with additional
information and experience which will help inform future decisions of this type.
