Imrecon

Imrecon is perhaps best known for regulatory policy modelling, and has developed the core regulatory financial models for a nearly continuous series of price cap reviews since 1999, principally in the UK and Ireland, and advised on many others.

Meeting regulators' needs

Building on strong financial modelling skills, Imrecon has developed techniques and modelling principles to address the needs of regulators: for functionality, richness of analysis and response to rapidly evolving requirements when the policy team is most under pressure. Imrecon has found that policy teams need modelling and related analysis to answer new questions, inform new ways of thinking and be able to deliver robust answers and reliable insights, authoritatively and in very tight timeframes.  These features are a hallmark of Imrecon's service.

Imrecon's regulatory policy modelling is an integral part of a wider service, forming the backbone of the policy team's data and scenario management, providing the highest quality of analysis for consultation and decision making, informing the thinking process throughout the review and delivering confidence in policy making.

A decade of experience

Imrecon developed the core regulatory policy models for reviews of Railtrack (2000), UK designated airports (2003), Network Rail (2004), NATS (2000 & 2005), Dublin Airport (2005 & 2007), IAA aviation terminal service charges (2007).  Ian Rowson also has experience of advising on, auditing or reviewing models in the transport, energy, water and post sectors, including most recently for the Network Rail review (2008) and the CAA's airport reviews (2008 and 2009).
