The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has received a revenue proposal from AusNet Services electricity transmission network in Victoria. The proposal sets out the revenue AusNet Services proposes to collect from electricity consumers through transmission charges for the five year period 2017–22.
The AER is satisfied that AusNet Services’ proposal complies with the requirements of the National Electricity Rules and Law. AusNet Services’ proposal has been published on the AER’s website.
Invitation for submissions
Interested parties are invited to make a submission on AusNet Services’ revenue proposal and the AER’s negotiated transmission service criteria by 4 February 2016.
The AER prefers that all submissions be publicly available to facilitate an informed and transparent consultative process. The AER will treat submissions as public documents unless otherwise requested. Parties wishing to submit confidential information are requested to:
- clearly identify the information that is the subject of the confidentiality claim
- provide a non-confidential version of the submission in a form suitable for publication.
All non-confidential submissions will be placed on the AER’s website. For further information regarding the AER’s use and disclosure of information provided to it, see the ACCC/AER Information Policy.
