Powercor is an electricity distribution network service provider. Its next five year regulatory control period commences on 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031 (2026–31).
Under the National Electricity Rules (NER), Powercor is required to submit its regulatory proposal to us by 31 January 2025.
The AER has published a Framework and Approach for the upcoming revenue determinations which sets out our approach to key issues including:
- Which services will be covered by our determination, and the form of regulation that will apply to them.
- Which incentive schemes will apply, for example, to service quality, improvements in network reliability or capital and operating expenditure.
- Our approach to setting efficient expenditure forecasts and the establishment of the opening regulatory asset base for the upcoming regulatory control period.
