On 31 March 2008, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) received proposals from Energex and Ergon Energy relating to the classification of services and control mechanisms to apply for their next regulatory control period (1 July 2010 to 30 June 2015).
The AER’s framework and approach paper containing its likely approach to the classification of Energex’s and Ergon Energy’s distribution services and its decision on the control mechanisms to apply to standard and alternative control services in the next regulatory control period has been published.
This paper, the AER’s earlier position paper and submissions from interested parties during the consultation period are available at the AER's website.
