The AER is required under chapter 6 of the National Electricity Rules (the chapter 6 rules) to make a distribution determination for the Queensland electricity distribution network service providers (Energex and Ergon Energy) in relation to their respective electricity distribution services.
On 30 June 2009 Energex and Ergon Energy submitted regulatory proposals together with supporting information to the AER. The AER’s preliminary examination of the regulatory proposals found that each proposal sufficiently complies with the requirements of the relevant provisions of the chapter 6 rules.
Energex’s and Ergon Energy’s regulatory proposals are available below.
