The AER has approved the cost allocation methods to be used by Country Energy, EnergyAustralia and Integral Energy in their regulatory proposals for 2009-14. The AER has also approved the cost allocation method for ActewAGL in the ACT.
The approval of the cost allocation methods is the first decision made by the AER as part of its first distribution determination in NSW and the ACT. Approval of the cost allocation methods is a new requirement of the National Electricity Rules which took effect from January 2008.
The approved cost allocation methods will be maintained on the websites of each business.
The AER's decision documents and public versions of the DNSP's cost allocation methods are available on the AER's website.
