The AER is seeking written submissions on Ergon Energy’s application for a waiver from clauses 3.1(b) and 4.2.3 of the Ring-fencing guideline (Electricity distribution).
Ergon Energy applied to the AER for a waiver on 25 October 2023.
The waiver application, if approved, would allow Ergon Energy to install, own, operate and maintain consumer energy resources behind participating customers’ meters in isolated networks in Queensland. Ergon Energy has provided a complete list of isolated networks in an addendum.
