SERVICE OVERVIEW
A regulatory map for a changing power sector
An informed regulatory plan starts with the facts of your product, activity and operating model.
Electricity regulation spans generation, transmission, distribution, trading and consumer-facing supply. The applicable route depends on the project, location, market activity and the responsibilities of each participant.
Astronis helps businesses identify the questions to resolve, coordinate the supporting evidence and plan approval and compliance workstreams around project milestones. Technical assessments and authority decisions remain with the relevant specialists and regulators.

Have another question? Contact us Electricity Regulatory Advisory: common questions
Answers to help you frame an initial conversation. The applicable position should be confirmed for your circumstances.
Which electricity regulator should we approach?
The relevant authority depends on the activity, jurisdiction and issue. A preliminary review of the project and applicable framework helps identify the appropriate route; it does not predetermine an authority's decision.
Can one project require both central and state-level coordination?
Yes. A project can involve responsibilities at more than one level. The exact combination depends on its location, activity and regulatory structure.
When should we begin regulatory planning?
As early as practical, ideally while the project structure, site and commercial arrangements are being developed. Early issue mapping helps identify dependencies before milestones are fixed.
Can you guarantee an approval or a particular tariff outcome?
No. Approvals and regulatory determinations are made by the competent authorities under the applicable process. We can support assessment, documentation and follow-through.
