- Sunass said Sedapal’s request for a further increase is still under evaluation, with any adjustment now reported as pushed from February to June 2026.
- Regulators defend a 5–6% ceiling and reject Sedapal’s roughly 12% push tied to a higher rate of return, estimating an 8% WACC would yield about a 35% jump versus the earlier 4.22% benchmark.
- Sunass cautioned that another rise could occur in 2027 depending on the outcome of Sedapal’s reconsideration over the profit-rate formula.
- Sedapal alleges calculation errors and a cash deficit of about S/500 million and says roughly S/400 million from tariffs would help finance projects like Planta 3 and the Ventanilla wastewater plant totaling around S/1,000 million.
- Congress’s Consumer Defense Commission pressed for service improvements, criticized absent officials, and called to review the 2023 decree as the Housing Ministry floated bill installment relief starting in July.
