Following consultation on potential waiver conditions, the AER granted Ergon Energy a waiver from obligations under clauses 3.1(b) and 4.2 of the guideline, with 3 conditions imposed. These conditions aim to improve clarity and certainty for third-party renewable generation providers, while avoiding undue regulatory burden for Ergon Energy.

The waiver is valid until 30 June 2030, or until Ergon Energy ceases to have a role in providing electricity generation and distribution services in isolated networks, whichever occurs sooner.
