It would be good to cross-check with National Grid data. h1 Approach # Lump all gas demand together # Assume the numbers above are per PJ of average flow, and that the scaling that has been done to peak demand remains unchanged. # Use +/-50% of the residential range for high and low range, use 35th centile between low and high costs for "Default" figure. # Assume a 30 year life h1 Issues # Should perhaps work out the size of the gas pipe based on peak demand so benefit from insulation? # The Markal capital value looks much to high compared with the UK National Grid regulated asset values of £4.5bn for the gas transmission network[http://www.nationalgrid.com/annualreports/2010/delivering-performance/transmission/about-transmission.html] and £7bn for the bit they own (perhaps half)http://www.nationalgrid.com/annualreports/2010/operating-and-financial-review/gas-distribution/about-gas-distribution.html. # The ratio of capital to operating cost looks wrong, compared with national grid. It may be that a lot of the capital replacement in this calculation is actually operating cost in National Grid figures. # These ofgem documents have gas distribution costs[http://www.ofgem.gov.uk/Networks/GasDistr/otherwork/Documents1/6502-5604Openletter_GasDistributionPriceControl.pdf] [http://www.ofgem.gov.uk/Networks/Trans/Archive/TPCR4/ConsultationDecisionsResponses/Documents1/16342-20061201_TPCR%20Final%20Proposals_in_v71%206%20Final.pdf] h1General Comments Please use this space to make any general comments.
