The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) administers the (Queensland) Electricity Distribution Ring-Fencing Guidelines, September 2000 (the Guidelines) under the National Electricity Rules.
On 16 March 2011, the AER received an application from Ergon Energy to waive the requirement that it must not carry on a related business. The photovoltaic installations on Ergon Energy’s buildings fall within the definition of a ‘related business’ under the Guidelines. A copy of Ergon Energy’s waiver application and the Guidelines are available on the AER’s website.
The AER seeks submissions from interested parties on Ergon Energy’s waiver application. Information on how to make a submission can be found on the AER’s website. Submissions are due by 5 pm A.E.S.T on Wednesday, 13 April 2011.
