ContactProject Description
Swiss Economics supports the Federal Network Agency in conducting the efficiency comparison of gas transmission system operators for the fourth regulatory period. The project includes defining the data to be collected, validating its plausibility, determining comparison parameters, conducting a comprehensive cost driver analysis, and developing and validating the efficiency comparison model. This model serves as the basis for legally sound determination of the individual efficiency of German gas transmission system operators.
