The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) is requesting submissions on its draft Transmission Annual Planning Report (TAPR) guidelines.
The TAPR guidelines will support transmission businesses to consistently provide information across the National Electricity Market. This information will complement the TAPR documents published on 30 June each year. The TAPR guidelines follows from the transmission connection and planning arrangements rule determination.
The draft TAPR guidelines and explanatory statement propose what information transmission businesses should publish to assist interested parties to engage effectively in network planning decisions. We are interested in whether the information we are proposing is clear, sufficiently comprehensive and fit-for purpose.
Invitation for submissions
We invite submissions on the draft TAPR guidelines by the close of business, 15 October 2018. We prefer stakeholders send submissions electronically to: AERInquiry
aer [dot] gov [dot] au (AERInquiry[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au). Alternatively, stakeholders can mail submissions to:
Mr Sebastian Roberts
General Manager, Transmission and Gas
Australian Energy Regulator
GPO Box 520
MELBOURNE VIC 3001
We prefer all submissions be publicly available to facilitate an informed and transparent consultation process. We will therefore treat submissions as public documents unless otherwise requested. We request parties wishing to submit confidential information to:
- clearly identify the information that is subject of the confidentiality claim; and
- provide a non-confidential version of the submission, in addition to a confidential one.
We will place all non-confidential submissions on our website. For further information regarding our use and disclosure of information provided to us, see the ACCC/AER Information Policy.
