Today the AER published information on regulated electricity distribution and transmission businesses. The information was collected by the AER for detailed expenditure analysis, and has been provided in response to Regulatory Information Notices (RIN responses) issued to the businesses. Businesses covered are:
| State | Distribution businesses | Transmission businesses |

| SA | SA Power Networks | ElectraNet |
| Tas | Aurora Energy | n/a |
| Vic | Citipower, Jemena, Powercor, SP AusNet, United Energy | SP AusNet |
The AER is currently validating the Category Analysis information, which is likely to result in revised responses from several businesses. As such, RIN responses are likely to be updated in the coming weeks and otherwise may be updated at any time.

This information continues the series of regulated business information to be published by the AER. Category Analysis information from ACT and NSW distributors, and transmission businesses in NSW and Tasmania is included in the information provided in the current regulatory proposals submitted by the businesses.
