On 25 July 2014 the AER released an issues paper on ActewAGL's regulatory proposal. This paper aims to draw to stakeholders' attention some of the issues in ActewAGL's proposal that the AER thinks are likely to be important.
ActewAGL will be presenting its proposal at a public forum on 30 July in Canberra. Members of the public are welcome to attend the forum and ask questions of ActewAGL about the proposal. The AER’s Consumer Challenge Panel will also be attending the forum to put forward its perspectives on the proposal.
Over the next nine months the AER will be scrutinising the proposal through a public review process. Anyone interested in participating in the review will be able to make written submissions or attend a public forum.
Consumers wishing to make a submission should send submissions to the AER by 22 August 2014. A draft determination is expected to be published in November 2014, and further submissions will be invited at that time. Final determinations will be made by April 2015, with new prices to commence on 1 July 2015.
