On 23 December 2024, AusNet Services submitted a cost pass through application seeking to recover the costs it has incurred as a result of the September 2024 storm in Victoria. 

AusNet Services is proposing an increase in its revenue allowance of $11.4 million ($2021, smoothed) to be recovered as follows: 50% or 5.6 million in the final year of the 2021-26 regulatory control period (2025–26); and the rest ($5.6 million) in the first year of the 2026–31 regulatory control period. 

Energy consumers and other interested parties were invited to make submissions on AusNet Services’ cost pass through application by close of business 25 February 2025.
