At 9.00 am on Tuesday 17 December 2013 the AER will release its final decision on the rate of return guideline. This guideline sets out the approach we intend to take to determine the allowed rate of return for both electricity and gas service providers. Accompanying the guideline will be an explanatory statement and factsheet.
This guideline forms part of the Better Regulation program. The program includes seven new guidelines that outline our revised approach to determining electricity network revenues and prices, and our establishment of the Consumer Challenge Panel. There is more information on the Better Regulation program webpage.
