On 1 April 2025, we published our draft amendments to our pricing methodology guidelines following a rule change by the Australian Energy Market Commission in October 2024. Our proposed amendments set out the information we require to assess whether electricity transmission networks’ pricing methodologies are consistent with the requirements of the final rule. 

We also published templates that set out the information we propose to collect annually on interconnector cost allocations.

We invite stakeholders to make written submissions on our preliminary positions by COB Tuesday, 20 May 2025. 

Submissions should be emailed to AERPricingaer [dot] gov [dot] au (AERPricing[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au). Alternatively, you can mail submissions to: 

Gavin Fox
General Manager, Network Pricing

All non-confidential submissions will be placed on the AER's website.
