Overview

The AER has published draft guidance on applying the amended National Energy Objectives (NEOs).

The draft guidance covers:

  2. how the AER may operationlise the amended electricity objective to Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, Essential Energy, Evoenergy, TasNetworks Distribution, TasNetworks Transmission and Power and Water Corporation for the 2024-29 regulatory determinations.
