Andy Burnham's plan to bring UK utilities into public control

The decade-long project aims to improve performance and reduce consumer bills, potentially mirroring models in Berlin and Paris. Critics warn of significant taxpayer costs, while Burnham has pledged to adhere to existing borrowing rules and not raise income tax, VAT, or national insurance.

United Utilities shares surge 11% as Ofwat settlement proves more generous than expected

United Utilities share price jumped 11% after the water company announced an £800m share placing with Future Fund and Atlas as cornerstone investors. Ofwat's regulatory settlement a year ago has proven more generous than initially thought, particularly for companies not incurring heavy pollution fines. UU now targets 10-11% return on equity and seeks to spend an additional £2.5bn on infrastructure, potentially adding £10 to household bills. Severn Trent rose 7% in sympathy, with both companies at all-time highs.

US Utility CEOs Got 16% Pay Raise Last Year as Customers Faced 40% Bill Increases

A review by the Energy and Policy Institute reveals that CEOs of the nation's top 51 utilities received a 16% pay raise to an average of $12.3m last year, even as customers faced utility bill increases of up to 40% since 2021 and 13m power shutoffs nationwide. The analysis found 38 CEOs received raises collectively worth $82m, with American Electric Power's Bill Ferhman receiving the largest increase at $23m to $36.6m. Customers have paid over $5bn for CEO compensation since 2017, while utility prices remain a key driver of continuing inflation.
