Final decision—energy efficient public lighting charges (Victoria)

On 27 February 2009 the AER released the final decision on Victorian distributors' proposed operation, maintenance and replacement charges for energy efficient lights. The decision is available below.

A draft decision on energy efficient lights' charges was released by the Essential Services Commission of Victoria (ESCV) in November 2008. Submissions to the draft decision made by Citipower, Powercor, United Energy, Jemena and SP AusNet are also available below. The submissions were used by the AER in making its final decision.

Public lighting charges in Victoria were regulated by the ESCV as an excluded service. From 1 January 2009, the AER assumed the responsibility for the economic regulation of electricity distribution services in Victoria, including the responsibility for regulating electricity distributors’ public lighting charges.
