Resolution ARG/gas 92/08 - “Criteria for the determination of the tariffs for the regasification service and amendments to Resolution 166/05 and Resolution 11/07”.
With Resolution ARG/gas 92/08, published on 9 July 2008, the Electricity and Gas Authority defined the tariff criteria for the regasification service applicable for the third regulatory period (1 October 2008 – 30 September 2012).
The mechanisms already in effect in the second regulatory period were confirmed for determining the base revenues, including the real return on net invested capital of 7.6% before taxes. In regard to the tariff structure, the breakdown of revenues into a regasification capacity component and a regasified volumes component was maintained, at a ratio of 90/10 (80/20 in the second regulatory period).
The tariffs are updated using the price cap methodology applied only to the component relating to operating costs, with a productivity recovery coefficient of 0.5%.
The revenue component relating to the return and amortisation and depreciation is updated on the basis of an annual recalculation of invested capital and additional revenues from the incentives for investments realised in prior regulatory periods.
Incentives for new investments involve the payment of a return increased by three percentage points over the base rate (WACC), for a duration up to 16 years. Both the increase in the rate of return and the duration are differentiated depending on the type of investment.
