To achieve this, the Corporation intends to:

(a) undertake new investments which over their life are:

(i) aimed at yielding a return at least equal to the Corporation’s cost of capital, including a normal commercial profit;

(ii) the least-cost options available to the Corporation;

(iii) controlled in a manner which will maximise the commercial value of the enterprise, by ensuring that the addition of new equipment is related as closely as possible to actual and forecast market requirements;

and

(iv) considered to be in the best commercial interests of the Corporation.

(b) take account of the pricing policies which might be pursued by a market competitor in a comparable situation.

(c) adopt a commercial pricing strategy which includes giving clear market signals to customers, with appropriately flexible contractual options; . . .
