Consumer Challenge Panel sub-panel 4 Submission to AER's framework & approach preliminary positions - 3 April 2015

Powerlink proposed to the AER that it be permitted to apply a 'top-down' approach to expenditure forecasting for its capital projects later in the next regulatory control period, supported by a sample of projects also forecast using the conventional 'bottom-up' build approach to forecasting. The AER was asked to consider whether this proposal should be allowed.

In addition to submissions on the AER's preliminary positions we invited submissions from stakeholders on this proposal.

Submissions in response to the F&A preliminary positions closed 3 April 2015.
