AER publishes draft amended Rebidding and Technical Parameters Guideline - request for submissions

On 21 September 2016, the AER commenced consultation on its Rebidding and Technical Parameters Guideline by publishing a Notice of Consultation, as required under the Rules Consultation Procedures. We are reviewing the Guideline to reflect market developments and the recent commencement of two rule changes. The proposed amendments are contained in the draft for consultation (which accompanies the notice).

Interested parties are invited to make written submissions on the proposed amendments to the Rebidding and Technical Parameters Guideline by the close of business on 7 November 2016. Late submissions may not be taken into account. The final version of the Rebidding and Technical Parameters Guideline will replace the current Guideline, which was published in December 2009.
