The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has published the Victorian distribution network service providers' (DNSP) revised advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) budgets for 2009-11. These have been submitted in response to the AER's AMI draft determination, released on 31 July 2009. The revised submitted budgets are available on the AER's website.
The AER received amended submitted budgets from CitiPower, Powercor and SP AusNet. United Energy Distribution has submitted an amended budget that accords with the AER's draft determination. The AER did not receive an amended submitted budget from Jemena as the draft determination approved Jemena's initial AMI budget application.
Submissions on the draft determination and the revised submitted budgets may be sent electronically to aerenquiry
aer [dot] gov [dot] au (aerenquiry[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au) by close of business 11 September 2009. Alternatively, submissions can be mailed to:
