Recently, the method for estimating expected inflation has been the subject of debate in our regulatory determinations. Expected inflation is an important parameter for modeling future revenues in both electricity and gas regulatory determinations and is applied uniformly across both sectors.
Public forum
On 18 April 2017, we published our discussion paper on the regulatory treatment of inflation. We are holding a public forum on this paper and the inflation-related issues that have been raised with us as part of our industry-wide consultation and review. This public forum will be held on 14 June 2017 in Sydney.
The agenda will be available on the AER website prior to the public forum.
If you are interested in attending the public forum, please notify us by emailing RateOfReturn
