Performance reporting and guidelines

On 7 October 2025, we released a consultation paper seeking stakeholder views on the effectiveness and timing of our network performance reporting. 

We are asking for stakeholder feedback on the manner, form and content of our reports and seeking stakeholder views on whether the reports are providing relevant and useful information.

This feedback will be used to determine whether our current objectives, priorities and processes for network performance reporting are fit-for-purpose, if the format is effective and if the outputs provide information that is relevant and useful for stakeholders. 

After considering this feedback, we will publish our decision, including a final set of objectives and priorities for our electricity and gas network performance reporting from 2026.

 

 

Background

Our network performance reporting analyses the key outcomes and trends in the operational and financial performance of the 25 network service providers (NSPs) regulated by the AER under the National Electricity Objective (NEO) and National Gas Objective (NGO). 

The main output of this reporting is our Electricity and gas network performance reports, the accompanying operational and financial performance datasets and the infographic which summarises the key information to stakeholders. 

In addition to this report, in 2023 we commenced our annual Export services network performance report. This report and the accompanying dataset and infographics analyse the performance of electricity distribution networks in providing services for embedded generators, such as residential solar and batteries, to export into their networks.
