Cos­ting and pri­cing

We support you in the challenge to develop a cost accounting that meets both economic and regulatory requirements. Our approach is to develop concepts that take into consideration the structure, audit or further development of your costing practices.

We audit your pricing system to support you in ensuring cost-covering prices and tariffs. The objective for you, as an infrastructure operator, is to meet the existing regulatory requirements and at the same time break even, ensure that costs are paid by those instances that caused them and being able to operate in the market.

As the majority of costs in infrastructure-based industries originate from assets, we recommend having detailed knowledge of the value of the existing infrastructures. We evaluate your assets in the context of the industry-specific regulatory specifications so that you can set prices at a cost-covering level.
