Guidelines, schemes, models and reviews

The AER is undertaking a Review of the AER exemptions framework for embedded networks.

The Pipeline Access Dispute Guide is intended to provide guidance about the access dispute resolution process under the NGL and NGR.

We examine the relative efficiency of the distribution and transmission electricity network service providers in 2023.

The AER determines network tariff structures and tariff levels for gas distribution networks in NSW, Victoria, SA and the ACT.

The gas pipeline information disclosure guidelines, price reporting guidelines and accompanying templates are required under the new Part 10 & 18A of the NGR.

On 28 September 2023, the AER published guidance on the amended national energy objectives. This guidance is supported by an explanatory statement.

The AER draft supporting guidelines that support the regulation of network infrastructure projects under the NSW Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap.

The Export service incentive scheme allows DNSPs to propose bespoke incentives related to export services based on their network circumstances, customer preferences and evidence-based performance data.

Our guideline explains the Transmission Efficiency Test and how we determine revenue for network operators authorised to carry out non-contestable projects.

The AER has reviewed and refined its incentive schemes and guidelines that apply to regulated electricity and gas networks.

The AER has been consulting on its approach to incentivising and measuring export service performance.

The Rate of Return Instrument (the Instrument) sets out the approach by which we will estimate the rate of return, and comprises the return on debt and the return on equity, as well as the value of imputation credits. We publish a new Instrument every 4 years that will bind all regulatory determinations in the subsequent 4 years.
