On 4 April 2011 the AER released its draft determination on SP AusNet’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Revised Budget Application (Application) for 2009-11. The Application proposes variations to the costs previously approved by the AER in October 2009 for costs associated with the AMI program, including, but not limited to, the supply and installation of advanced interval meters (smart meters). The AER applied the various expenditure tests as required by the revised Order in Council, and also sought assistance from Impaq Consulting.
The public version of the AER’s draft determination and the report by Impaq Consulting are available below:
