Further final decision - Variation to approved access arrangement - 10 September 2010

On 10 September 2010 the AER approved a variation to the access arrangement for Country Energy's Wagga Wagga gas distribution network.

The variation to the access arrangement corrects for errors identified in the opening taxation asset base. As a result of the correction to the taxation asset base, tariffs will on average increase by 3.16 per cent in year 2 of the access arrangement period. This contrasts to the previously approved increase in tariffs for year 2 of 2.5 per cent.

The reasons for the AER's decision, relevant correspondence and the varied access arrangement (including the terms and conditions and access arrangement information can be found in the Varied access arrangement document.
