The AER has issued the final regulatory test version 3 and regulatory test application guidelines as required under the National Electricity Rules. The final decision document, including the revised regulatory test, and the application guidelines are provided below.
The AER’s final decision was made following a public consultation process conducted in accordance with the transmission consultation procedures in chapter 6A of the National Electricity Rules. The proposed regulatory test version 3 and proposed application guidelines were published for consultation in July 2007. Submissions closed on Thursday 6 September 2007. The AER received the submissions below. The AER thanks participants who contributed to this consultation process.
The AER has also issued regulatory test dispute resolution guidelines to assist parties in understanding the regulatory test dispute resolution rules and process.
Until the AER issues the Regulatory test and associated regulatory test application guidelines as required by clause 5.6.5A(f) of the National Electricity Rules in December 2007, the regulatory test included in the Compendium of electricity transmission regulatory guidelines will continue to apply.
