Tariff decision algorithm Electricity and Drinking water in the Caribbean Netherlands

Calculation models for tariff decisions in the Caribbean Netherlands - STUCO, SEC, WEB and ContourGlobal. The Authority Consumer & Market (ACM) annually sets the electricity and drinking water tariffs in the Caribbean Netherlands. In this decision, the ACM sets the (adjusted) tariffs for the coming calendar year.

Goal and impact

The algorithm aims to set Electricity and Drinking Water tariffs in the Caribbean Netherlands. In this decision, the ACM sets the (adjusted) tariffs for the coming calendar year.

Considerations

The advantage of this algorithm is that a quick and standardised assessment can be made over a large amount of information.

Human intervention

The outcomes are manually checked before proceeding to publish the tariff decisions.

Risk management

The model is tested for correct operation before use. The results are then manually checked before proceeding to publish the tariff decisions.

Operations

Data

The tariffs for the various products related to the supply of electricity and drinking water.

Technical design

It uses a calculation module that contains the exact calculation of tariffs. This model uses a tariff module that contains the exact rates for different products.

  • This algorithm assesses the financial position of licensed energy suppliers. It looks at their energy purchases and how well they have hedged supply obligations. The ACM calculates stress scenarios to see whether they can still meet their supply obligations for gas and electricity even then.

  • The ACM monitors the financial position of licensed suppliers. Based on information suppliers submit to the ACM, the ACM performs some simple calculations to determine various financial ratios. Partly based on the results, it determines which suppliers the ACM will prioritise when assessing all the information provided.
