Under recent amendments to the National Electricity Rules, transmission network service providers may apply for an early application of the market impact component of the service target performance incentive scheme.
On 1 October 2010, the AER received ElectraNet’s application for a proposed start date of 27 January 2011 for implementation of the market impact component of the scheme. As permitted by Clause 11.32.3(d)(2) of the NER, ElectraNet has also provided information that supports an earlier proposed start date.
