The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has published two draft working papers on the Term of the rate of return and the Rate of return and cashflows in a low interest rate environment as part of our pathway to the 2022 Rate of Return. We are now seeking submissions from interested stakeholders by 2 July 2021.
For each draft working paper, the AER will host an online forum to allow the opportunity for stakeholders to share views and ask questions about the matters raised in these working papers.
