Powerlink registration - Dedicated connection assets - Amended 26 July 2022

When the previous framework for transmission connections was established there were several existing, contracted to be constructed, or agreed to connect assets that would have met the definition of a dedicated connection asset introduced by the NER. The NER set out a means by which parties that owned, operated or controlled an ‘existing dedicated connection assets’ were grandfathered and the AER published a register of these existing dedicated connection assets’.

Under the 2021 designated network asset rule, ‘existing dedicated connection assets’ recorded in the AER’s register at 1 July 2018 continued to be grandfathered and therefore are not subject to the designated network asset new rules (Clause 11.139.5(a) under Schedule 5 of the NER).

Below are the four registrations received by the 1 May 2018 cut-off date as specified in clause 11.98.2(a).
