The Rate of Return Instrument specifies how the AER will determine the allowed rate of return on capital invested in regulated electricity and gas networks.

How transportation facility operators should record and maintain nomination and renomination data relevant to the AER’s monitoring functions.

The AER Compliance Procedures and Guidelines provide guidance and information to service providers about their legislative and reporting requirements.

We've conducted a form of regulation review of the South West Queensland Pipeline, which is owned and operated by APA Group.

The Network Visibility project seeks to optimise the benefits of CER (Consumer Energy Resources) and network assets for all customers.

The Annual Compliance Order (ACO) is the mechanism with which the AER monitors compliance with Chapter 4 of the National Gas Law (NGL).

The intent of the annual updates is to provide stakeholders with information on rate of return data changes since the publication of the most recent Instrument.

The Pipeline Access Dispute Guide is intended to provide guidance about the access dispute resolution process under the NGL and NGR.

On 28 September 2023, the AER published guidance on the amended national energy objectives. This guidance is supported by an explanatory statement.

The AER has reviewed and refined its incentive schemes and guidelines that apply to regulated electricity and gas networks.

The Rate of Return Instrument (the Instrument) sets out the approach by which we will estimate the rate of return, and comprises the return on debt and the return on equity, as well as the value of imputation credits. We publish a new Instrument every 4 years that will bind all regulatory determinations in the subsequent 4 years.
