The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has received an application from Moranbah North Coal Mine requesting that the AER not classify its distribution service under clause 6.2.1(a) of the National Electricity Rules (NER).
The AER has prepared a draft decision on the application made by Moranbah North Coal Mine NSP. The AER’s draft decision is not to classify the distribution service provided by Moranbah North Coal Mine NSP and consequently the distribution service will not be regulated under chapter 6 of the NER.
A copy of the AER’s draft decision and the application made by Moranbah North Coal Mine NSP is available on the AER website.
