Process guideline on how to prepare a transmission network support pass through application

The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has released a draft procedural guideline on how to prepare a transmission network support pass through application.

The AER considers the guideline will assist TNSPs lodge an application that complies with the requirements of the NER.

A network support pass through event occurs when the actual amount of network support payments incurred by a TNSP differs to the amount allowed in the revenue determination.

The AER is required under clause 6A.7.2 of the National Electricity Rules (NER) to assess applications from transmission network service providers (TNSPs) to adjust their revenue determination when a network support pass through event occurs.

The AER welcomes submissions on this draft guideline. Submissions close on 11 March 2011. Submissions can be sent electronically to AERInquiryaer [dot] gov [dot] au (AERInquiry[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au).

Alternatively, submissions can be mailed to:
