Following recent consultation with stakeholders, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has decided to delay its final 2020-25 network revenue determinations due on 30 April 2020.The AER now intends to release its final decision for JGN on 5 June 2020.

The short delay is to allow the AER to use short-term forecasts of inflation from the Reserve Bank of Australia released on 8 May 2020. This will allow the AER to include a more accurate reflection of the economic circumstances in our decision for the next access arrangement period.

To assist retailers in developing their gas retail price offers for customers on JGN's gas distribution network, we have published indicative first-year (2020-21) tariffs for JGN. Our 2020-25 final decision for JGN, which will include the finalised tariffs, will be published on 5 June 2020.

On 3 July 2020, the AER provided a brief report to the Commonwealth, State and Territory Energy Ministers explaining the delay to the revenue determinations and access arrangement final decisions released by the AER on 5 June 2020.
