On 1 April 2008 the AER released a package of proposed national guidelines, models and schemes for electricity distribution regulation. These were issued for public comment, as required under the National Electricity Rules (NER).
The guidelines, models and schemes, and accompanying papers, are available on the AER's website. Interested parties have been invited to make submissions to the AER by COB Wednesday 14 May 2008. Submissions will be published on the AER's website.
The AER is undertaking consultation for the proposed guidelines, models and schemes under the requirements of the NER. As part of this consultation process, the AER will host a forum in Melbourne on Wednesday 23 April 2008 between 10am and 4pm to discuss the proposed regulatory arrangements.
Stakeholders interested in attending the forum are requested to contact Maria Djopa by 18 April 2008.
