Evidence session

Step

As part of our stakeholder engagement on the 2022 Rate of Return Instrument we held evidence sessions to hear expert opinions about the proposed instrument. We called for nominations of eligible experts and also considered whether there are other expert opinions that can inform our decision. The Evidence Sessions were held in four 2.5 hour sessions across two separate days, 10 and 17 February 2022.
