SP AusNet - Request to amend the STPIS - 21 August 2009

As detailed in the Explanatory Statement, SP AusNet and ETSA Utilities have both requested amendments to the service target performance incentive scheme.

The AER is required under chapter 6 of the National Electricity Rules (the chapter 6 rules) to make a distribution determination for the South Australian electricity distribution network service provider, ETSA Utilities, in relation to its electricity distribution services.

On 1 July 2009 ETSA Utilities submitted a regulatory proposal together with supporting information to the AER. The AER’s preliminary examination of ETSA Utilities regulatory proposal found that it sufficiently complies with the requirements of the relevant provisions of the chapter 6 rules.
