On 5 June 2020, the AER published its final decision for the transmission interconnector between Queensland and New South Wales, Directlink, for the 2020-25 regulatory control period commencing 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2025.

On 31 January 2019, Directlink, submitted its revenue proposal to the AER. The proposal sets out the revenue Directlink proposes to collect from electricity consumers through transmission charges from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2025.

Delay to Final Decision
