Danish Water Regulatory Authority

As regulator for the water sector in Denmark we enforce the Danish Water Sector Act, which regulates the financial framework for water and waste water companies, to ensure that Danes get cheaper water.

Our most important tasks include:

  • Establishing the annual financial framework for the companies
  • Calculating individual efficiency requirements through benchmarking for companies with a charged water volume of more than 800,000 cubic metres
  • Conducting annual monitoring of company compliance with the financial framework
  • Handling complaints related to the financial frameworks of the companies
  • Supporting the companies' work to comply with the Danish Water Sector Act with guidance, advice etc.
  • Handling and supervising municipal reports in accordance with the Danish Stop Act and related regulations
