The AER has today published ActewAGL Distribution’s (ActewAGL) 2015-2019 regulatory proposal.
ActewAGL originally submitted its regulatory proposal on 2 June 2014. However, the AER considered that certain information provided in ActewAGL’s regulatory proposal did not meet the requirements of the National Electricity Rules (NER). ActewAGL’s failure to submit a compliant regulatory proposal has delayed the AER in publishing the proposal.
The AER issued ActewAGL with a notice, under clause 6.9.1(a) of the NER, to resubmit its regulatory proposal. ActewAGL has resubmitted its regulatory proposal making changes to address the deficiencies identified in the notice.
Invitation for submissions
The AER can now commence consultation on the regulatory proposal. Stakeholders are invited to make submissions to the AER on ActewAGL’s regulatory proposal by 22 August 2014.
Public forum
The AER will also host a public forum in Canberra on 30 July 2014 where ActewAGL will present its regulatory proposal to interested stakeholders and answer questions. Interested stakeholders may register to attend the forum by completing and returning the registration form by 25 July 2014.
Extension for submissions
Additionally, the AER has extended the period for submissions on Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy's regulatory proposals to 8 August 2014.
