AER Final Determination on ActewAGL vegetation management cost pass through application - July 2014

On 4 July 2014, the AER made its final decision. The AER did not approve ActewAGL's vegetation clearance cost pass through application. The AER considers that ActewAGL's pass through application does not meet the criteria of a general nominated pass through event as specified in ActewAGL's distribution determination. This is because the AER is of the view that ActewAGL did not undertake prudent operational risk management which could have prevented or mitigated the effect of the proposed pass through event.

As explained in the overview section above, this final decision is void and of no effect.
