Access arrangement 2026-31
Evoenergy is the gas distribution network service provider for the ACT and surrounding areas.
On 28 November 2025, we published our draft decision for Evoenergy's 2026−31 access arrangement proposal.
Interested stakeholders are invited to make a submission on both our draft decision and Evoenergy’s revised proposal (due 14 January 2026). Submissions will close on Friday, 13 February 2026 and can be emailed to aergasresets2026-31
aer [dot] gov [dot] au (aergasresets2026-31[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au).
An online public forum was scheduled for Monday 8 December 2025 for our 2026-31 gas access arrangement draft decisions on Evoenergy, AGN (SA) and Amadeus.
Given limited stakeholder interest, this public forum did not proceed as originally indicated.
We remain committed to engaging with stakeholders and encourage stakeholders who are interesting in discussing our draft decisions, or wish to provide feedback via alternative methods to reach out to Reset Coordination team on aergasresets2026-31aer [dot] gov [dot] au (aergasresets2026-31[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au)
Recent milestones - Evoenergy's proposal
On 30 June 2025, we received a gas access arrangement proposal from Evoenergy for its gas distribution network for the period 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031.
Stakeholder submissions on Evoenergy's proposal closed on 15 August 2025 and are available on our website.
On Wednesday, 17 September 2025 at 10-11 am (AEST) we hosted an online public forum for Evoenergy and the combined presentation slides are now available.
Background
A regulated network business must periodically apply to us to determine the maximum allowed revenue it can recover from consumers for using its network. In assessing these proposals, it is our role to ensure that consumers pay no more than is necessary for an energy system that delivers safe, reliable, secure energy that contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
