On 24 June 2024, Jemena Electricity Networks (Jemena) on behalf of the Victorian DNSPs requested the AER to determine that the annual payments they make to Essential Service Commission Victoria (ESC) as required by section 21(a) of the Electricity Industry Act 2000 (Vic) is a jurisdictional scheme. 

If the license scheme under section 21(a) of the Electricity Industry Act 2000 (Vic) is determined to be a jurisdictional scheme, this will apply to all Victorian DNSPs.
