In February 2023, the AER published the second Rate of Return Instrument (2022 Instrument). Under that review process, we committed to continuing the publication of Rate of Return Annual Updates for the information of stakeholders, which we have been doing since 2019.
The intent of the Rate of Return Annual Updates is to provide stakeholders with information on rate of return data, particularly time series market data, showing changes since the publication of the most recent Instrument. We have prepared the tables and figures in each of the Annual Updates using our existing calculation approaches, as used to inform the most recent Instrument, so that stakeholders can compare changes in market data on a consistent basis.
The first annual update was published on 7 December 2023.
The second annual update was published on 6 December 2024.
