On 22 December 2011, the proponent submitted a rule change request which sought to ensure that DNSPs consider the cost of distribution losses when making investment decisions. The rule change request included a proposed rule and a paper of supporting analysis on the calculation of the long run cost of electrical energy losses.
On 12 April 2012, the AEMC published a notice under section 95 of the National Electricity Law to commence a first round of public consultation on the rule change request. This was accompanied by a staff consultation paper.
Draft decision
