We are undertaking a consultative process for amending the Capital Expenditure Incentive Guideline, to take into account the Australian Energy Market Commission’s final rule for Managing ISP project uncertainty through targeted ex post reviews. Giving effect to this we must update our Guideline to enable us to carry out separate targeted ex post review for Integrated System Plan (ISP) projects and non-ISP projects.
In addition, this review also considers additional matters that has been raised by stakeholders since our 2023 review of incentive schemes for regulated networks. We consider this is an appropriate time to raise these issues as these were not the subject of the 2023 Incentives Review
The AEMC’s targeted ex post reviews rule change, except for the transitional provisions, will commence on 4 September 2025. In preparation for this, we are required to amend our Guideline by 4 September 2025.
