The AER has released a discussion paper proposing objectives and priorities for electricity distribution and transmission network service providers performance reporting.
Annual performance reports are an important element of the regulatory framework. Performance reporting enables stakeholders to assess compliance with regulatory determinations and compare the performance of network service providers. Annual performance reporting will enhance the operation of the National Electricity Market by encouraging active and informed stakeholder participation in regulatory processes.
In accordance with clause 8.7.4 of the NER, prior to preparing network service provider performance reports the AER must consult about appropriate objectives and priorities for the performance reports.
The AER is seeking comment on the proposed performance report objectives and priorities. Submissions close on Friday 28 January 2011.
